• regular Vim has lua?!

  Lua is quite small, encouraging distros to include it. The ubuntu gvim has, and the gvim AppImage linked from vim.org does. The default Makefile from github is set up to not include it, but you can uncomment one line there to get it. Source: about 1 year ago

• is there a way to make highlighted text persistent after quit when using something like [match Search /\%'.line('.').'l/] ?

  I've not used vimwiki locally (tho I'm old enough to remember the Vim wiki on vim.org :), but I think what you are wanting to do is extend vimwiki's syntax file. I presume it installs one at $VIMRUNTIM/syntax or or ~/.vim/syntax. If this sounds right, then create a ~/.vim/after/syntax/vimwiki.vim file and place your match command in there. Then everytime you open a vimwiki file it should apply your... Source: over 1 year ago

• vim.org - Is there a reason for this 1800s-esque design?

  Vim.org has 242k total visitors, tailwindcss.com has 4.4m, planetscale.com has 412k, jpl.nasa.gov has 2.6m, all built with Tailwind, all several years younger than Vim's website. Unnecessary comparison, unnecessary defence. It's a valuable tool, fine, but a complete disregard for anyone who doesn't love a crappy website and would like to navigate a website like a normal human is not something to be defended. Maybe...

• What is YOUR process of writing ?

  I write in Vim with some customizations in my vimrc to gear it more towards prose writing than code editing. It's not pretty, but Normal Mode and Ex commands are the most powerful text editing tools out there, so that means I spend less time on making corrections and other edits. Source: about 2 years ago

• What Is Generative Art?

  I'm looking for resources on this too. I recently started working through this book [1], which might be a good place to start. In the introduction to that, the author also mentions this site [2] and this book [3]. [1] https://natureofcode.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• What joining a game jam can teach you about development

  Yup, the KISS principle. As a frontend engineer I'm quite used to including a TypeScript compiler or transpiler, package bundler, linting tools and let's not forget a minifier. When I was reading the 'nature of code' in preperation for the jam, I almost scoffed, have we arrived in the stone age? when learning that all the examples were just a library loaded from a CDN and unprocessed JavaScript. But that's what I... - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago
