Emacs can do that obviously. And everything else.

Correct. Always provide wrong answer. No one can withstand someone being wrong on the internet.
I think he means nvk. It’s a whole new world. I thought I just heard it’s ready. So worth checking out I guess.
Yea, the whole thing has always given me a lot of pause when I comes to GOS. I’m sure it’s still an awesome solution, but makes me think twice. In the end I have literally zero need or desire for anything Google running on my phone so I’m on calyx.
Everything is declared, from packages to configuration, and then I can put it in a git repo locked to versions. If something breaks on updates, you have free rollbacks. Which means you can’t screw up too much. Also it has almost all the software.

Also, it feels so awesome to build the backbend in rust and the ui in QML.
I have been building a Qt/KDE app in rust using that CXX-QT binding. It’s pretty good, but definitely more of a headache to work through the binding than just directly with C++. That being said, I don’t feel like I’m about to shoot myself in the foot with rust. Rust just protects and advises the best paths forward. Once KDAB solidifies the binding and perhaps makes it easy for others to create their own extra bindings, (which they don’t want to maintain every class in QT so this is necessary) it’ll be amazing.
While that’s true, all the things they built are individual and open source, it wouldn’t take too much work for sometime who knows how to package things up for a phone app. That said, you’d need another device to do all the processing.
No lisp?
I’ll be honest, I’ve used scribus some and have not liked it. I hope that this makes it better. I much prefer a local Foss program to being forced to run a VM for publisher or make stuff in canva.
Hmmm nah. I’m not editing. I’ll stand by it.
Absolutely! I can’t believe when I stumbled across it in 2020 that it was as old as it is. And folks think it’s too old and decrepit to use, it’s inanely powerful.
But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn’t. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.
Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.
