    By far my biggest joy in software development even after 30+ years is when you discover and build some simple, elegant foundations that you just keep getting leverage out of. On and on and on. Gifts that keep on giving.

    For #SilverBullet: Space #Lua (and its integrated query language), the object model and index, “truth is in the markdown”, and building everything as a platform (API) first.

    After years of investment I’m now layering more user-friendly layers on top (UIs, CLIs and such) and it’s easy, because it’s not a hack.

      I’ve been diving into #roblox game dev with my 12 year old son. His step from outgrowing #scratch. Honestly I’m highly impressed with the thought put into Roblox as a ( #Lua based) platform. Great abstractions, very productive. Highly recommended to kids who want to progress in programming. All free (until you want to publish your games to mature audiences I think there are some rules around that).

        I just spent a half-hour hacking in the (GUI version of ) config file, and I have figured out abbreviations and custom keymapping, which means I can move my "production" editing from to Neovide with a clean Lua config file.

        Do I need to move away from gVim/? I'm not sure, but we're in this game to try new things, right?

        Is it worth it to move from Vimscript to Lua?

          Thanks to Lua with batteries included and mise-en-place I now have automatic setup for general-purpose scripting in . I just needed to learn how to set the package search path.

            It's been only four weeks and I really love using mise-en-place by @jdx@fosstodon.org So far I've used it for (chronologically):

            - switching between versions, I liked it more than the dedicated anyzig
            - venv activation – it's silly but feels so good, and collaborates with uv
            - ensuring I have the right language server and formatter for a project, be it , , and trying out various options for Python
            - setting LANG="C.UTF-8" only in the specific project folder because refused to work with Polish...

            The final boss was getting a really comfortable Tree-sitter setup: get the CLI, write grammar in , re-generate and run tests on source change as a mise Task. And then I only cloned the repo on another machine and was ready to go!

            This post was written as a more cultured outlet for my excitement instead of aggresively committing mise.toml into every repository I touch

              Today I was playing with in @silverbulletmd@fosstodon.org, and while upstreaming a fix for a dependency, I landed PR number 1 there.

              This is what promises to be, and it does feel nice to actually do it.
