Earlier quoted context omitted.

Some of us still haven't lost it thanks to Delphi, C++ Builder, .NET or even Java. However they aren't fashionable in the days of Electron and CLI nostalgia. So you end up with Go on vim, instead of FreePascal on Lazarus.

Heck, some of us haven't even given up on Perl.

Quite useful still.

Looking at this makes me nostalgic in a way the author probably hasn't intended. Rust is notorious for its slow compile times, while Turbo Pascal was known to be blazingly fast. And the debugger, one of the most important part of the experience is "Not implemented". Dressing it as a 1989 IDE makes me painfully aware of what we have lost. Despite running on hardware that were orders of magnitudes slower than today, so…

What do you mean the debugger is "not implemented"? I debug Rust code all the time with CodeLLDB. Works perfectly. Better than C++ in most ways.

That's referring to this specific retro-style IDE, which doesn't yet have a debugger UI; selecting the "Debug" menu item produces a "not implemented yet" error.

>> Rust is notorious for its slow compile times Don't forget Haskell. And what's other... C++, OCaml, etc? I guess a language with complex/complicated design is difficult to be compiled "blazing fast"

Scala is painfully slow to compile too
