• 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: over 2 years 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 2 years 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: over 3 years ago

• Database management in a single PHP file

  I do similar things with Elixir scripts, though commonly I still turn to PHP because there is some single file library that does what I want with a lot less ceremony than the Java variety would require. There's also PsySH, https://psysh.org/, for being something other than a Common Lisp or BEAM interface it's a very nice REPL. Besides Picolisp and iex it's the interactive programming environment I use the most. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Upcoming Hardening in PHP

  Https://psysh.org/ It's very popular, as in a lot of businesses use it, it's just not fashionable. I think it's a great tool to have. It had gradual typing before it was cool. You can type in like a page of code including the layout and render whatever in a PDO-supported database on a web page, served by the builtin web server, which is great for data exploration and things like SQL optimisation. At the moment I'm... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• PHP Doesn't Suck Anymore

  PHP is great, but you need to be a pretty decent developer to use it effectively. It has a rather nice interactive shell, https://psysh.org/ . I've built non-trivial, non-web systems in it. Concurrency 'within' the language isn't as nice as some alternatives, but the FCGI-style deployment is quite reliable and convenient in practice. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
