   I can't deny the performance and scalability of Java. But I've never been a fan of the need to be so verbose when coding for it. Also my memory of Java is from the late 90s...so maybe I'm missing something but I can't re

   My dream language/environment would be something that is ubiquitous, has a straight-forward learning curve, has a REPL, and empowers dev productivity - like python - but then, if i should choose, there would be an additional straight-f

   I think "gateway language" is a really powerful concept indeed! My knowing Spanish has made it much more approachable for me to pick up Portuguese, Italian, and French phrases. Also, while I'm not a native German nor Dutch sp

   The org i work for at $dayjob is in the midst of a poorly-managed migration from Jira to Azure DevOps (ADO)...and I've had a tolerate/hate relationship with Jira for some years now...It often felt like it has too many distractions

   Confirmed; just as you noted this functionality from Notepad++ exists in Kate!!! I guess i now am fully going to dive in to Kate even for Windows (nothing against Notepad++, but no need for it now)! Thanks!

    Cockpit interests me a great deal. I used to use webmin many, many years ago, but only for a short time...It wasn't anything that webmin did poorly, simply that my need for it diminished. Nowadays, I'm more interested in what cock

    Like @fngjdflmdflg noted, years ago when i moved to linux (for personal use), I also had trouble finding a decent/similar replacement to Notepad++. I started down the Geany route, and liked it alot. It is cross-platform, not slow, has

    I don't think the core/default Kate editor does the same "write and close the window" like Notepad++. Kate does have pretty cool options for session handling - which helps keep files open that you had been working on, e

    Back in the early 1990s up until about early 2000s, i would frequent IRC a bunch. It was so new and fun back then to chat with so many different people across the world; to this day, it remains impressive to me in several ways. Nowadays, i
