The great thing about the fediverse is that you can start an instance with your own rules 🥳

The closed source programming language. No need to know any more.

You mean without a problematic dev?

Ahhhh, fedi-drama… Sweet sweet drama!

Licenses are legalese, why the fuck would I understand them in depth?

The name makes it seem like it’s a fork of Eclipse, but it’s all in Typescript and compatible with VSCode. Is it an IDE or an editor?

Do it. You’ll learn something new. Maybe you’ll even contribute to the code.

Is that opensource?

I finally went with this. Thanks.

It doesn’t have a theme registry like JSON Resume, but at least it works. Finally my CVs are in git 🥰

A fork of Zed without AI, I see. I’ll need to look at how active it is. Forking is easy, maintaining is hard.

Thanks for the suggestion.

No. Next question.

(insert spongebob meme showing the fat dude a bunch of big python projects upon which many things run in this world)

There is no other, universal, IDE stack that can come close.

Maybe that is the sad conclusion and a perpetual fallback license is what I’ll end up with.

Ok, maybe if you are willed to invest weeks in an emcas or neovim setup

Neovim was highly praised by a colleague and a friend. And when streaming was a big thing (COVID, eh?), there were neovim streamers out there singing it praises. But after a month of failing to configure anything that was even close to what a proper IDE has, I just dropped it. The meme about vim and emacs users spending years configuring their IDE is no joke, and I just don’t have the time for that.

And to AI. Cursor should be able to connect to jetbrains IDEs from the outside.

Yeah, Cursor has an ACP, but the ACP integration in Jetbrains is… meh. I tested a few to make my employer happy, but found that the major problem in the chain was/is the Jetbrains IDE. It seems like Jetbrains IDEs are much better without agentic coding than with. At least my experience.

I am afraid that even with all the bugs, it may unfortunately be the best we have at the moment. I would gladly pay a subscription to an opensource alternative that focused on being on par to old Jetbrains IDEs. Maybe it’s time to just use my perpetual fallback license and call it a day with Jetbrains.

I remember seeing Zed a while back and them heavily promoting the AI capabilities. I’ll give it a try to see if it’s built upon a solid base and works well without the AI stuff. There are features in Jetbrains IDEs that I’m quite fond of like cross-file refactoring, proper debuggers, (up until recently) the docker integration, and their database browser. Hopefully at least cross-file refactoring and debugging is available.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Holy wall of text. Did the dude even once come up for breath while writing that?

Noted. Won’t be signing up.

I think all you need is a scale from big tech cuck to big tech hater to put the licenses on. MIT all the way on the fuck side and AGPL all the way on the hater side. Would make it pretty easy to choose a license.

Thank you. I didn’t expect that because I assume that packages are basically the same everywhere you go (at least in my experience). And managing them is basically solving dependency trees, then downloading files and putting them in the right place for the import system to find them.

But my experience with programming languages is limited. I haven’t found a language that doesn’t work this way.

Harassment is not allowed. You may not harass people for using an LLM, regardless of whether or not their use is banned by the policy. You must follow the Code of Conduct at all times when interacting with the Rust project.

Lol, I think that will be as lost on the LLM haters as the contributing policy will be lost on LLM-only users.

Care to elaborate?
