nadiyar

Welcome to my fedi-home

I'm a cis-male creature whose ideas refuse to fit into any category, so I became a category of my own. (AKA a weirdo)

Not too alone nor popular I'm proud to say I wasted my life staring at a code editor and I will continue being your friendly geek on the internet.

Anxiety is woven into my personality and I believe it's because I can see a future in which we’re all doomed. beside this, introverted and talkative are other labels you can attach to my presence.

If I’m not busy writing code, you’ll likely find me wandering the streets with a camera, or hiding in a dark corner with a novel, as any well-adjusted person does.

My favorite text editor (nvim) is balls deep into generated slop code, and I feel too old to switch to
what a sad time to write code in

    @nadiyar I don't know about forks for nvim, but I switched back in April from vim to vim-classic and that's been working well.

    It's a fork started by @drew which a handful of us have been working on:

      Yeah going from vim to vim-classic sounds reasonable, however nvim offers lots of addtitional features which makes me see the transition as a downgrade (no idea how many of these features I'm actually using).

      also trying to convert my 1400 lines of Lua to Vim Script and finding equivalent plugins looks like a recipe for failure.

      as a vim fork, this exists too :)

        @nadiyar @drew Yeah, I kept an eye on evi for a couple of months, but unfortunately it became clear their Values aren't really compatible with mine.

          @nadiyar Are all vi-like editors sloppified? I am an Emacs user and I has always been hard to find a lightweight alternative because it looked like literally all editors used vi bindings.

            AFAIK, yes. Original VIM and NeoVIM projects accepts AI generated code.
            and about Helix they're still unsure, accepting some and rejecting others...

                @nadiyar Doom Emacs is an emacs config that bundles a very nice vim layer, if that helps.

                  Yup, I've heard of it.
                  though the bindings isn't the issue, configuration is :)

                        @nadiyar You do not need to switch to emacs. You just need to use vi on emacs. One of its name on emacs is evil mode.

                          @restorante @nadiyar the vim emulation in Emacs is actually really good in contrast to all other vim emulations I've tried. I migrated to evil-mode in 2016 and don't regret it.

                            I'm a bit of a goober myself so I'd take what I have to say with a grain of salt. But I've recently just got into Emacs myself through GNU Guix. While I have found that here is certainly a learning curve when it comes to using Lisp. Once you get used of using Lisp as a configuration language, you'll find that Emacs isn't that bad of an editor.

                            Besides, Emacs does have evil mode which should make you feel right at home as a VIM user.

                              Right.

                              And once you get to use Emacs Lisp as a _programming_ language for Emacs,
                              yours is the world.
