I wish I could :q! you

Nano has had syntax highlighting for quite a while.

Its keybindings also make sense if your brain is still stuck in the '90s. If not, they’re literally printed at the bottom of the terminal.

If I need plugins, I’m not gonna be fucking around with a terminal text editor.

What are these “other little things?” Certainly not “probably already installed on your system.”

It’s 1,000 times larger.

Well, they’re not necessary for 99.999% of what you need a quick CLI text editor for.

That’s the neat part: you don’t.

That’s cool, and I can’t wait for it to gain widespread adoption, but nano is already more commonly installed by default.

If the host doesn’t already have nano, you fucked up super early

But yeah, it buffers the lines.

Ctrl-K and Ctrl-U in nano, a sane editor that does not hate you

“Vocational skills?” I was coding for fun since I was eight. Granted, I eventually turned the poor conversion of programs from 3-2-1 Contact! magazine into a lucrative career, but when I was young, it inhabited the same space as LEGO and reading novels under the covers too late.

Walz, Gore, Mondale

I wouldn’t really characterize fourteen years as “decades.”

Yeah, that was the correct answer

You misspelled C++

The truck is to be the guy who is gone

It was rhetorical.

That’s not really the job of the language, though. If they can’t read the design docs and source annotations, they don’t really have any business touching anything.
