Even if it writes the same or even somewhat worse rust than python, assuming the output is the same you are likely to get a speedup + a better distribution story.

Weird! This went from the home page to completely gone from the list in the time it took me to read a few paragraphs of the article...

I noticed this as well, presumably nuked from orbit by a hoard of Superbox

Check out the docs! They show you how to do exactly that: https://docs.helix-editor.com/remapping.html#minor-modes

Yeah, the docs show different keys combination, like `jk` or `jh` etc (even with the bug described in the issue). You can't use the same key like I am used to (just `jj`), because there is no timeout between characters.

This is unfortunately exactly why I never used (neo)vim or kakoune (or tbh, sublime text whose lsp integration I have never successfully gotten working). Going from school (Java + NetBeans/C# + Visual Studio) to work (C#/JS + Visual Studio -> C#/TS Visual Studio Code) I had expectations for certain language features being available by default. Helix is the first editor of its ilk to get configuration out of my way so I can effectively write code the way I'm used to.

Why would that happen? Participating large businesses are completely fine with the existing practice. Sure, someone can bid on your trademark, but you can also bid on theirs and probably don't want to lose that ability.

Fortunately laws aren’t limited to be exclusive to large business interests and, at least occasionally, can be drafted with intent to benefit consumers in a market.

Yeah it sounds more like a reference to the OpenAI logo to me

The author is clearly not talking about left-pad like that library is still specifically an issue. He's raising it up as an example of a problem that is still occurring. He then makes the point that maybe we should have less packaged JS code in general and that more software solutions should exist (and should have always existed) as part of the standard library or well-maintained packages like Lodash (although he doesn't reference it by name, just the concept it exemplifies). It feels like you've missed the forest for the trees.

Isn’t this already (slowly) happening?

Someone else mentioned evil-helix if you really want those keybindings but, admittedly, I think the different keybindings (and more specifically the select then operate model) are a major point of why helix (and its inspiration, kakoune) exists.

I get the impression they are ripping it out because they don't want to sponsor the FOSS volunteer working on it or deal w/ maintaining it themselves. The tracking/advertising take doesn't hold much water for me as adding those things to the page is something developers and companies choose to do. You could just as easily inject a tracking script tag or pixel or whatever via XSLT during transformation if you wanted.

The government historically uses the the financial industry to police crimes and behavior that it does not want to or that it is not expedient to police directly. Clearly they like the outcomes of the payment networks' rules and enforcement decisions and see no need for things to change.
