I think humanity as a whole can only really start focusing on the real problems once we settle on the Emacs vs neovim debate. It's all about setting the right priorities, right?
I tried a new text editor today that's written in rust. I downloaded the tar.gz and it just had a single executable binary in it It doesn't feel any more responsive than vscode, but at least its rust extension seems to work. I wrote like 20 lines of rust without any borrow checker errors so it was a good day?
Back when I worked on space ships, I used gedit and grep. That was before gedit's UI got butchered. Those were the good old days I guess.
