Very nice, I'll unironically add it to my repertoire of main code editing tools: nano and notepad.
Notepad had recently become infected with ai features and logins and tabs which I just hate, win some lose some ig

#63Yay for finally having a default text editor that works over ssh. Managing windows servers over ssh is a bit of a pain without. They could just have packaged nano, but oh well.
It's such a simple program that it's better to roll a proprietary program that is well integrated with windows
You can use nano over wsl if you want

I’m guessing this isn’t just to optimize for binary size. If you have the resources to avoid third party dependencies you eliminate the burden of having to build a trust case for the third party supply chain. That is the number one reason we sometimes reimplement things instead of using third party packages where I work: the risk from dependencies along with the effort required to establish that we can trust them is…
Microsoft has recently said AI writes 30% of their code. Reimplementing things isn’t as expensive as it once was.

Maybe a tenth the total cost is getting the code into the terminal, the other nine tenths is maintaining way more code than you'd otherwise have to.

It seems like your first paragraph answers the question in the second. If it is harder to use and learn then that reduces the value of free software released using it as that software is then harder to modify, fix, contribute to, etc. The tradeoff for Rust being hard should be more security and fewer bugs. The additional cost here, and the one that the OP is probably annoyed with, is that it moves away from the langu…
Is Rust harder than C++?
No.

#67Hey all! I made this! I really hope you like it and if you don't, please open an issue: https://github.com/microsoft/edit To respond to some of the questions or those parts I personally find interesting: The custom TUI library is so that I can write a plugin model around a C ABI. Existing TUI frameworks that I found and were popular usually didn't map well to plain C. Others were just too large. The arena allocator e…
1. What do you like about Zig more than Rust?
2. How did you ensure your Zig/C memory was freed properly?
3. What do you not like about Rust?

I am truly behind the times. I didn't know you can ssh into a Windows system.
Since windows 10/windows server 2019 afaik. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15904265
Thanks! It always bugged me that Windows didn't have a sshd, since it's so popular outside of Windows. I thought the reason for it not being added would be admitting a failure somewhere - RDP not winning or something. Seemed odd to prevent a way into Windows Server.

That was absolutely not what was said. The way it was phrased indicates it only applies to a subset of projects, plus there were weasel words to indicate that maybe it's not actually quite that high, plus AI was not explicitly mentioned and it easily could include a lot of traditionally-generated code.
