Here’s a big difference. I value writing and playing my own music. Most are happy enough to listen to other people’s music. Somehow with music this isn’t a religious war.

Tree-sitter does incremental parsing which will speed up the Language Server having to otherwise re-parse an entire file.

Would this be something along those lines? https://github.com/williamcotton/guish It's a GUI for constructing and executing Unix pipelines and it shows the output of each step in the pipeline.

How is counting not a technology? The calculations are internal but they happen due to the orchestration of specific parts of the brain. That is to ask, why can't we consider our brains to be using their own internal tools? I certain

It's OK, I was being overly sensitive based on the other comment in this thread. In fact, I do value the journey over the destination and it is helpful to be reminded of this. I've updated the project's README to make this ex

Technically this is a DSL and not a general purpose language! Here's an example of the latest thing I was playing around with: GET /:city/weather.svg |> fetch("https://geocoding-api.open-meteo.com&#x

“Exploitative” is not a legal category in copyright. If the concern is labor compensation or market power, that’s a question for labor law, contract law, or antitrust, not idea-expression analysis and questions of derivative works.

I'm writing a few DSLs a year at this point and I would very much like them to be part of the training data for LLMs!

But "vaguely familiar in structure" could be argued to be the only reasonable way to do something, depending on the context. This is part of the filtration step in AFC. The idea of wallrunning should not be protected by copyrigh

React has always supported server-side rendering and there have been many tools over the years to "rehydrate" data from the server to the client for when the client-side React application "takes over".
