Flutter like a butterfly, sting like a Dart.

The joys of dynamic typing.

Clearly an inferior language. /s

And that’s Linus’ doing, mostly. Kent insists it is production ready. I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole, at least for now.

For example today I wanted to add a “start menu” shortcut to a program I had downloaded.

I get what you’re saying, but this is like “I tried to use Linux like it was Windows, and it was hard.” It’s a different OS. Go on, move the taskbar of Windows 11 to the left or right edges of the screen. I can do that on Linux, why can’t I do that on Windows? It’s not even hard, it’s just plain impossible. If you try to do things manually in Linux, it’s not going to be intuitive. It will feel like editing the Registry in Windows. Unintuitive and like arcane magic.

The lead developer certainly doesn’t. He maintains that it’s got several systems in production.

I’ll change my car from a Ford to Firestone.

This got me excited, but their webpage doesn’t list any I/O modules.

While countries like Brazil, Mexico, and India have privacy laws on paper, enforcement is weak, allowing both domestic and foreign vendors to deploy invasive technologies unchecked.

So they’re doing just as well as the US?

One could say it’s their fiduciary duty.

F-Droid seems to manage it just fine. It’s even got reproducible builds.

Why didn’t they write this instead of the BS above?

And?

Why build another CLI editor?
What motivated us to build Edit was the need for a default CLI text editor in 64-bit versions of Windows. 32-bit versions of Windows ship with the MS-DOS editor, but 64-bit versions do not have a CLI editor installed inbox. From there, we narrowed down our options…
Many of you are probably familiar with the “How do I exit vim?” meme. While it is relatively simple to learn the magic exit incantation, it’s certainly not a coincidence that this often turns up as a stumbling block for new and old programmers.
Because we wanted to avoid this for a built-in default editor, we decided that we wanted a modeless editor for Windows (versus a modal editor where new users would have to remember different modes of operation and how to switch between them). This unfortunately limited our choices to a list of editors that either had no first-party support for Windows or were too big to bundle them with every version of the OS. As a result, Edit was born.

TL;DR: We tried nothing and were all out of options.

Simulink was the fun part of Matlab.

No.

Absolutely, hell to the nah.
