You can already do so incredibly much by hooking up a few extra LSPs and keybinds (calling external scripts/programs)!

Yes, agreed. But I would still love some git integration that can’t be emulated like this. For now git cli + lazygit for more easier refinement works fine, but it’s not ideal.

Emacs Org-Mode like context aware styling, for i.e. Bold or Italic text hints from LSP

Hmm, isn’t this already the case for, like, markdown? Or what do you mean by context-aware?

Nah, the language itself should be as simple as possible. Bloating it with endless extensibility and features is exactly what makes Perl a write-only language in many cases and why it is becoming less and less relevant with time.

I agree, but then there’s also some other niceties that come from expression parsers in the language itself (as noted in the article): syntax highlighting, LSP, a more complete AST for editors like helix.

I honestly think it can be a lot more readable, especially when the regex would have been in the thousands of characters.

Looks neat, does its job.

If you’re a power-user looking at this, you can also look at https://github.com/rgwood/systemctl-tui which is somewhat similar but seems to be more useful (for now), also showing the service logs and being easily navigable with a keyboard.

Seconded. I’m coming from Emacs (+evil), so I’m still missing a few features (proper git integration a-la magit, collaborative editing a-la crdt.el, remote editing a-la tramp). However what is already there works way better/faster/more consistent than any other editor IMHO, and I’ve tried neovim with plugins too. I particularly enjoy the ability to traverse the AST rather than text (Alt+l/p/o/i by default, but I have it remapped to Alt+h/j/k/l). Really looking forward to https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675, I’ll probably write a couple plugins if this ever lands.

TBH I think it goes back way further than that: US expansion started of as part of the British expansion, who were probably inspired by Romans. I’m sure there are examples further back in history as well. It’s a pretty easy general idea to come up with if you are unburdened by ethics, empathy or humanity and your only motivation is greed and/or religious zealotry. But yes, parallels with Lebensraum specifically are especially potent.

Looks like their long-term strategy for peace is to deport, imprison or exterminate the (uncivilized, jihadist, subhuman) locals and re-settle with (civilized, devoted, master-race) Israelis. Now, where have I heard this idea before…
