I’m all for having the ability to do these shenanigans in principle, but prefer if they are guarded in an unsafe block.

Clearly we need self-centering support from editors.

So true. Every time I have to look up how to write a bash for loop. Where does the semicolon go? Where is the newline? Is it terminated with done? Or with end? The worst part with bash is that when you do it wrong, most of the time there is no error but something completely wrong happens.

Debugging CI pipelines is so annoying, why is there no better way than committing a bunch of dumb changes until it works?

Does USB not use interrupts?

Alright, but seriously: IPv6.

man -k to the rescue: mbsrtowcs, strxfrm and wcstold are C functions.

A major political agenda of Vim is to support children in Uganda. A message about that is displayed whenever you open Vim’s start page. Bram Moolenaar insisted on users donating to the ICCF charity instead of to him, making Vim a very political editor in my view.

This statement is wrong.

Huh? Hexagonal Architecture?

While there certainly is some overlap, Python is a scripting language and not a shell language. Some tasks that involve calling lots of different programs and juggling input and output streams are much easier done in bash than in Python.

I won’t argue with you that bash is janky and easily insecure, but what shell language do you think should replace bash?

Jon Gjengset on Youtube is doing live coding where he uses neovim quite well. And you’ll learn about Rust while you’re at it.
