• Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy

  Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. After a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?

  You could try Cygwin. I never leave home without it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What exactly IS gitbash?

  It's launching MSYS2, which is in turn based on cygwin, which is a collection of common Linux utilities built for windows and an incomplete POSIX abstraction layer. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kind of an obvious design flaw

  IME, not really? Git for Windows or MSYS2 are both pretty solid. I used Cygwin for years, but MSYS2 seems to integrate a bit more smoothly (plus MSYS uses pacman instead of Cygwin's fiddly gui for package management). Source: over 1 year ago

• WSL - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using a ton of memory?

  Try Cygwin or Msys2, they are not running virtual machines. For Bash and Neovim only you probably don't want to run a whole virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago

• what terminal emulator would you recommend?

  Wezterm is pretty good, I've been using it for a long time without any issues. The feature set is honestly huge and I'm probably using 10% of the capabilities, but I like having a lot of options. Source: 5 months ago

• Terminal emulators that break from the traditional rendering approach?

  And my own humble entry in this space is wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm which has a decent population of users in Japan and a handful of arabic/RTL users for the unfinished bidi support. Source: 11 months ago

• Switching from Emacs. My experience

  Either Wezterm OR Window-terminal I Personally use WindowTERM with alacritty * when needed Since WindowTerm has some weird ncurses issues ,. Source: 11 months ago

• Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust

  AFAIK wezterm[1] and warp[2] are built on top of the WebGPU [1] https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ [2] https://www.warp.dev. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• 📽️ Warp: The AI-Powered Rust-based Terminal

  WezTerm is another terminal you could consider, but it is very different than Warp. It is also built using rust. The config is in lua (like Neovim). It has built-in font fallback and font ligatures. It also has a built-in multiplexer, but I've not tried it yet. It does not have any of the block or AI features that Warp does. Source: 12 months ago
