Re: Conception – An experimental modern IDE written in Go
#32Author here. I was just about to go sleep when I noticed a retweet and a lot of new stars on Conception; this explains it. The linked C++ project was the result of an initial year of working on it, which culminated in a winning entry to LIVE 2013 contest [1] and me switching to working on a version of it written completely in Go [2]. I no longer work actively on the C++ version, but I do on the Go one [3]. Primarily,…
I just have to say, I've been following this project for awhile. I've been hoping that it progresses beyond experimental stages. The two concept videos on YouTube are great.

#33"...Conversely, code you write today is dead on arrival... Millions of ppl's efforts are wasted..."
PPL? –What are you, fucking twelve or something?

#34Is this similar to what Epic Games has been doing with their Unreal Engine, specifically the Blueprint system? The main difference appears to be that you can directly write code, which does seem more powerful. There's a lot of power in bridging the gap between developers and designers, would love to see where this goes.
Not really. You're thinking of blueprints. They're quite different as there is no typing involved (beyond power user shortcuts) http://i.imgur.com/T2p18c5.png
That looks like flowbased programming in a nutshell. Except you can't create your own components.

#35Why should being written in a particular language matter? We see a lot of these “written in Go”s these days for a lot of new softwares. I’m a big user of Go myself. Love the language and use it for almost everything. But I just don’t get why an editor or IDE or static site generator or any other piece of software brag about using a particular language or library.
I agree. However people new to a language might be interested in how something like that is implemented.

The project has no licensee, so it's effectively all-rights-reserved. To make the code usable by others, you should select a license, but be sure you understand that with many licenses anyone can copy/fork/rename/translate/extend/repack the project.
Don't be creative and stick to a standard license like BSD/MIT/LGPL/GPL and a few more. They are not equivalent. Take your time to select the one you prefer for your intentions and your definition of open/free. https://www.google.com/?q=mit+bsd+lgpl+gpl

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
PR seriously. Link had far less chances to get on the fromt page without PR keywords like "written in Go". Still interesting tho.
You’re right. What makes this project interesting is the idea and the design, not Go, yet it would be much harder to get this publicity through that. And that’s exactly what I’m saying: why should people upvote just because of the language?
This is the by-product of organizing ourselves by what tools we use, rather than what problem domain we immerse ourselves in.
Tools are a means to an end. Attaching anything more to them is silly.

Explicit permission to take things from it is a license, even if potentially an undesirably ambiguous one.

#39Looks similar to Code Bubbles.

#40This looks insanely cool (congrats!) but from a purely practical perspective I'm not sure if I'd want to use it even if it was a perfect, finished product. After all, I'd have to forget everything I ever learned about text editors and IDEs.
