What's with the CUDA reference?

Perhaps it’s short for barracuda?

There's a note buried at the bottom of the page:

Disclaimer: word "cuda" is taken from Serbian language, it means "miracles".

That got me wondering at a first glance too. But in this case, the word stands for "čuda" not CUDA.

Čuda = miracles, wonders, in Serbian (and several other languages).

And odd conglomerate of words from different languages perhaps, one even anglicized (ASCIIzed?) at that... Well, it does get the people talking, I suppose.

I had to change my editor every now and then in the last years, because something bothered me... the eternal search for the holy grail, so to speak. So Vim and Emacs have already fallen by the wayside. Now I'm actually stuck with CudaText. In my opinion the editor is really first class, I recommend to try it out.

For me, however, also very exciting is the realization that Lazarus/FreePascal programs generally always stand out very positively. The speed and memory efficiency is remarkable!
