👾 The IDEs we had 30 years ago... and we lost // Julio Merino

｢ This time around, I want to look at the pure text-based IDEs that we had in that era before Windows eclipsed the PC industry. I want to do this because those IDEs had little to envy from the IDEs of today—yet it feels as if we went through a dark era where we lost most of those features for years and they are only resurfacing now ｣

A minimal, declarative setup for productive Rust 🦀 hacking on Emacs + Guix

https://jointhefreeworld.org/blog/articles/rust/simple-guix-emacs-rust-development-environment/index.html

I noticed there was a blatant lack of resources and documentation on this particular setup.

With a tiny manifest and a small Emacs configuration, you get a powerful, reproducible, elegant Rust development environment.

@ben I use emacs 80% to 90% of the time. Today's packages are amazing and I can control nearly everything I do with an IDE as well or better. My other time is spent in the JetBrains suite (Rider, DataGrip). I don't use their AI add-on.

Multi-language IDEs that interact with interpreters via protocols are now common, from classic Emacs with its inferior process protocols to VS Code with LSP and similar modern environments.

This paper described an early exploration of these ideas: a language-independend, Interlisp-based environment that interfaced with language processors over the ARPANET. In 1974.

Erdos – open-source, AI data science IDE

Trying new modal editors to see if anything out there has come close to dethroning the king (vim of course). Helix and Zed were highly recommended options and of the two Helix seems like it could be a contender but Zed? There is no way to close the settings window in Linux and the backspace key doesn't work. Bugs like this are oddly satisfying to find but leads me to believe that these editors aren't being used in real world context or programming environments where building requires the editor getting out of your way. The marketing seems exciting but when put to actual practice you're trapped in the editor. I'm not sure if it's because of the collaboration features or just the fact that writing an editor for most environments is extremely difficult. Could be i'm just so used to vim but :wq has never failed in my history of using it.

The approach seems to be leaving behind legacy and using gpu's for speed which is admirable but I think that's also part of the problem. The reason vim is ubiquitous is because we can type 'vi' on almost any command line, on any platform in any decade and it'll load up. Zed is more of an IDE than an editor and this is where programming style and ideology comes into play. It's an interesting conundrum. What editor you use has in a way always determined what programs you write... Guess it makes sense in that context. #zed #rust #helix #vim #ide

What #libre#IDE (integrated development environment for programming code) would y'all want to coalesce around using, supporting, and developing? Asking especially for coding websites and applications with #PHP, #JavaScript, #CSS, and #HTML but #Python, #Elixir, #Rust, and #Go would all be great for us @agaric too.
