I got about two sentences further, it turns out another smoking gun is Mr. Back using c++ in his graduate studies, just like the original bitcoin implementation.
You may not be able to think of a worse experience, but a lot of "newer" programmers may not even know what an LSP is. While it's true that I no longer need to rely on some of the benefits of Jetbrains, when I was getting started jetbrains paving over toolchain difficulties was invaluable.
Assuming that the plugin is enabled for the free version, CLion is also amazing for Rust. Thanks Jetbrains!
Here's hoping this won't be abused by smaller companies that will no longer want to pay for the actual subscription. I also wonder if they are moving towards a different funding model, since the IDE space is pretty competitive with a free alternative (VSCode) out there.
Good article. Funnily enough the throw away line "I don't see parentheses anymore". Is my greatest deterrent with lisp. It's not the parens persay, it's the fact that I'm used to reading up to down and left to right. Lisp without something like the clojure macro ->, means that I am reading from right to left, bottom to top - from inside out.
If i programmed enough in lisp I think my brain would adjust to this, but it's almost like I can't full appreciate the language because it reads in the "wrong order".
By definition if I knew how AI would change the world, I would invest/build things to that end. The fact that we still don't have a great AI product outside of chatgpt, shows that no one knows what will happen.
