    Cuba seems to be a great country, people there most definitely have great lives. Freedom_of_the_press_in_Cuba Elections in cuba

    Laos has been governed by the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party, under which non-governmental organisations have routinely characterised the country’s human rights record as poor, citing repeated abuses such as torture, restrictions on civil liberties and persecution of minorities.

    DPRK = north korea

    Sure are great countries you listed there…

    For the record i dont want to doubt that marxism would be a nice experience but the lack of non ass, real countries makes me do so

    If its so much better there how come you dont live there?




  • I agree that extensibility would be nice, but it cant / shouldnt replace the actually working software with all working features. Ive never been able to get into modal editors before helix because vim / neovim (probably kakoune also) are unusable in their base form by modern standards. Any actual config / distribution needs tons of work to integrate basic usability features and fall apart in a blink (and are usually not very performant - lazy loading exists for a reason). Therefore i think its the right move to focus on implementing a fully featured editor first and then explore extensibility. That said i will also be very happy when it becomes a thing, no matter if it will be via webassembly, lisp, ect…


  • I’d recommend not trying to learn all the shortcuts as it’s most likely wasted effort. Most people probably dont know the entirety of available moves. Learn the basics to use the editor like, h j k l e w t f g s and start using it. Then whenever you need a ton of keystrokes to get something done, step back and see if there are moves which simplify that. Multiple selections / cursors are also an integral part of using helix so make sure to use em when applicable.

    As a sidenote helix isnt very modular imo. The appeal is that compared to e.g. neovim, it is very much a Monolith with most things you need built in which simplifies usage / configuration greatly.

    I’ll admit that this learning by doing way is prone to adopting half assed solutions but its the only way i know to get comfortable with something quickly
