I used JetBrains IDEs for years, and dropped it years ago because of this. It was maddening then and crazy to hear that after all this time it’s still a problem.
Each to their own of course, and not arguing that the Ruby ecosystem is amazing (although I thought so in 2008), with Python’s eleventy different package managers, I wouldn’t call the ecosystem great. It’s one of the main reasons I get bummed out having to use the language. Sure there’s lots of work going on to improve that, but it’s still smattered all over the place.
That seems a bit shallow. I’ve been Rubying for 10 years and have always preferred find_all over select. select turns up in other APIs having different meanings (thinking of IO specifically); find_all tells you exactly what it’s going to do. Just my opinion, of course.
Does anyone know of ruru’s status? I’ve used it quite a bit and love it, but haven’t seen any action in the repo in a while. I also pinged the Gitter channel a few weeks ago on the topic and got no response. Its a great tool; would hate to see it die.
Having done this a number of times with side projects, I can say I both agree and disagree. I've learned so much from delving down black holes: new languages, frameworks, design patterns, tools, etc.--stuff that stimulates my brain and helps me feel like I'm becoming a better engineer. ...but not realizing an idea in my head for a tool that I just want to use because I can't find it anywhere else is really annoying. I kinda hesitate to even start projects anymore because I fear I'll spend hours and hours, burn out, then end up with nothing I can use.
Been using this for a couple weeks now and dig it. The DSL feels familiar and the speed is yummy. I'd been using LALRPOP for some months; I dig it too, but just couldn't get the speed I was after from it.
I have to say that, despite working with only a few compiled languages, errors and warnings emitted from rust's compiler are far more helpful than any other I've used.
