I was slightly surprised that they didn't add a mention of neovim.
while neovim is great and I intend to switch even, some time down the road, it caused a not-really-compatible fork and diverted the efforts, I wish them to be merged however hard it will be.

I am maybe just a year or so down from the switch from vim to neovim, but lua is a game changer. It's like, it's easy to configure stuff yourself now. Better plugins are written because the tools are better, or at least so I'm convinced. I will make a random comparison to latex vs typst (typesetting software). Both incorporate a programming environment, you can write a program right in your document. The difference i…
I was surprised to see this on pikuma… I guess “ Also... Emacs sucks! ” is ok to end the blog entry. To me it is just hard to use 2-3 figures and it seemed hard for inventory as well. That sucks.

Vim9script is actually a great language.

It's incredible how good of a design Vi is. Try this experiment: Busybox includes a tiny clone of vi with a reduced feature set. It's very stripped down when compared to Vim or even other vi clones, but as a pure text editor it's still more powerful than most modern day IDEs . I love my Jetbrains IDEs, but you can take my Vim plugin from my cold dead hands :)
And yes, you can also take my VIM plugin (for Visual Studio) from my cold dead hands.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates Lua? Its syntax, the fact that variables are global by default unless you local them, `foo = nil` isn't variable assignment but instead variable unassignment!, etc.
There are far better scripting languages than Lua.
