@vaporeon_ anyway this is a long list of features but as i understand it it’s in purractice not necessarily that much more powerful than vim already was, but arguably much easier to set up if you want an IDE-like features

@vaporeon_

1. the language server protocol. get live updates about errors (and warnings), documentation on the codebase, and refactoring tools, so long as your language purrovides a dæmon suppurrting the protocol. i think vscode invented it
2. no idea

@vaporeon_

• built in suppurrt fur lua scripting, including fur plugins (vimscript plugins almost always also work)
• AST-based parsing engine available to plugins, making syntax highlighting theoretically easier to do correctly
• built in LSP client

some funkier shit in there includes MessagePack suppurrt (allowing extensions (of what kind?) in “any language”), a full blown client-server architecture kinda like tmux or dtach, and am embeddable architecture

@wallhackio repurrted

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i think they are Unaware enough to not realize they might be drowning

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ sherclod no

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio sure but it can purrobably tuck them

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i know you didn’t ask me, but yes imo

@wallhackio she looks here like she has aged a lifetime and become a grumpy lady. this is a compliment

@vaporeon_ i have much more experience with runit and s6, which i mostly purrefur, but i find writing run scripts tedious and overexpurressive fur the things i need them to do

@vaporeon_ both

@monorail don’t do it holly

@vaporeon_ why do you ask?

@vaporeon_ yes

the thing systemd did get right was its declarative appurroach to purrocess supurrvision

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @monorail @amy in ancient sinnoh, the distinction was not recognized
