Is no one gonna talk about neovim or are we all just like set the alias and forgot that we are inside neovim and not vim or vi
Coding in Ansible?
You write Ansible playbooks to automate infrastructure management. But calling it a coding language might be a stretch it is just yaml
The comments on this post went exactly like they have over the past 20 years, with one exception.
Emacs is all but forgoten.
Vim wins.
Vi hasn’t been updated since 2005. Aren’t everyone just using vim or neovim?
Emacs
(ducks)
I use vi from an Emacs Shell, which was spawned from an Emacs GUI.
I dislike Evil, and would never recommend it to anyone looking for a modal editing solution for Emacs. I would rather break my pinky with the modifiers than use Evil.
noun verb syntax rather than vi's verb noun syntax. This means that you get constant feedback about what you’re acting on before you act on it, since objects are always highlighted.Instead, for anyone looking for a serious and actually good modal editing, I would suggest them to try out meow. It fixes all of the problems I mentioned above, and makes more improvements to the vi experience that I didn't mention.
What makes 6 so popular?
Because vii viii ix
Java? vi!
COBOL? vi!
SVG? Believe it or not, vi!
/s
SVG, unironically yes. There's a few times where I found a library or WYSIWYG editor making some strange choices for its SVG output, and I had to fix it manually.
Sorry maybe I'm dumb. But does this mean VIM and Obsidian are Vi?
I usually refer to im as "vi" just to ~~make people think I'm old school and cool~~ save time typing that last character.
But Obsidian??
Oh yes. My "excell isn't a database" program. Obsidian.
I want to understand this comment!
Everyone at work is using Cursor these days, except for me using neovim and my emacs loving coworker. When we present during pair programming our coworkers go nuts over watching our workflows and trying to figure out if they can do similar things in Cursor lol.
What is Cursor, another AI-infested slop?
I know this is supposed to be a joke. But, VI is awful, and i can't believe anybody would use that over a modern editor. But, I know some people who like it.
Literally the only thing I code in at work. Have done so for decades.
Can't stop, won't stop.
Yeah, it's a dinosaurs tool for people who refuse to adapt to new stuff.
Imagine thinking modern IDE are more efficient than vi 😯
Curser is more intuitive, I agree, but you will never win a code race against similar skilled coder on vi..
Coding isn't a race, it's a team sport. And if you think its not, you're in the wrong profession.
Umm, there are regularly coding race events here where I live..
Coding can be hobby as well, you know.
Not all of this world is pure capitalism, some have some free time doing stuff they want how they want.
Coding is not my profession (right now)
If you value it as a hobby, don't make it that again :)
😄 why would someone not make his hobby his profession?
I have never coded as major part of profession, yet, but I am on the way there.
I did it. Stopped being a hobby because after work you will be tired of it, it's not healthy to code more. All you are doing is giving up what you code for money, and that's sweet, but eventually it is eroding to be told how and what to code which kills the fun, especially if you adhere to efficiency frameworks and work really hard
I see 😃 I starve for someone telling me what to code in return for money right now, tbh 🤣
Modern “vi” is typically a symlink to vim, and as long as compatibility is disabled it’s very useful; especially when working over ssh or quick and dirty config editing that doesn’t warrant a full blown ide to be started up.
Nano is just better and I'll happily die on this hill
I use nano for editing config files in the terminal. For everything else I use VSCodium. Roast me.
You already did that yourself
Hint: :q!
