jim_stark,

Edge is stuff tacked on Chromium. How can it be better?!

Aren’t we past that point?

VS Code is Electron based and it can even be deployed in the cloud. We are talking about one of the most popular IDEs.

jim_stark,

I am not saying otherwise. But do we still have a say?

jim_stark,

I just hope it’s not yet another electron or DOM based editor

Unfortunately, yes.

jim_stark,

True, I myself prefer VS Codium but how many people use it? And some site like Coursera have VSCode on the web and it can’t be changed to VSCodium.

IIRC a startup tried to exactly that… It’s wasn’t any faster and is actually harder to develop.

EDIT:

Sorry ignore these videos. I don’t remember which YouTube video it is. But more importantly Rust + WASM got really better than JS these days.

jim_stark,

My bad. I can’t find the actually video but there exits a startup that shutdown because Rust/WASM performance wasn’t any better on top of that it’s was harder to develop with Rust. But as my edit to my previous comment shows things got better for Rust. It’s no longer the case.

jim_stark,

What about maintainability of large code bases? JS even with TS tacked isn’t so great or at least not as good as Rust.

jim_stark,

Interesting take!

jim_stark,

jim_stark,

FYI: There is a Linux distro that bets heavily on D Lang, Serpent OS.

jim_stark,

reference compiler closed source

Is it still closed source? What is the reason?!

jim_stark,

I see, makes sense.

jim_stark,

Yeah, C# and Rust, in their own ways, pretty much covered what D lang set out to do.

jim_stark,

You caught NixOS when it is “transitioning”. It WILL get simple in the future. And of course there is no ETA.

I didn’t but did you try GNU Guix? It’s supposed to be much more elegant.

jim_stark,

Nix is not transitioning for the last 20 years. The community recently had a lot of discussion lately and starting towards a better path. It’s moving at such a pace that even official wikis maybe be out of date.

Of course I cannot say if this change will fit your particular needs. As someone who tries new things but not always gets success I understand your frustration.

jim_stark,

There is no single place but:

A simpler way would be to keep an eye on the “Developer Category” in the forum.

AUR like stuff is simply not for Debian. You are expected to only use software in the official repos.

If you want AUR you should really use Arch Linux or a easier alternative like EndeavourOS.

If you really want AUR (like thing) on Debian I recommend the nix package manager. It will do it’s own thing without messing with the host OS.
