Well it certainly puts you in an interesting place in the perennial emacs-vs-vim flamewar: Evil is a vim major mode in emacs. You get the programmability of Emacs with the efficient editing of vim, but you also get the memory usage, weight

Nice reference. I think the layout could stand to be more compact and fit more keys on the screen. Also don't forget to add in the excellent vim-surround for editing braces and parentheses, I was pleasantly surprised to find it instal

Go one step further and run the browser in ring 0 with minimal overhead. Rely on the security guarantees from WebAssembly and the runtime sandbox for memory protections. Throw out the rest of the OS too. We seem to be on track for the 203

Is that really a “golden rule”? I have worked on lots of cross language codebases. While it’s extremely useful to have experts in language or part, one can meaningfully contribute to parts written in other languages without being an expert

From what I have read, the intent seems to be that a C maintainer can make changes that break the Rust build. It’s then up to the Rust binding maintainer to fix the Rust build, if the C maintainer does not want to deal with Rust. The C mai

Yes; they claim to also address this. I'm not an expert and so can't pass judgement on their claims, but here's what they write (which you would see if you clicked the link and scrolled a bit): >> The intent is that pl
