How about optimize for engagement with people you know irl and not influencers and media?

I only know about this because of the scene in the White Lotus.

The things that just work that I look for are mouseover to get info on an identifier (local or external), right click to go to the definition, and running code in the debugger with a click. Maybe I just don’t know how to set that up in vscode; I’m a company of one and don’t have a coworker to ask how to do it. My Python work was just making requests, analyzing the data and outputting results to csv’s. This was replaced by Rust and then C. And the C is 60k loc as it does much more. In Clion when you open a cmake project it automatically understands your project structure from the cmake files and provides those need-to-have features I listed.

> So yeah, Python is powerful, and it couples very well with the now ubiquitous VSCode editor.

I always found vscode lacking for Python and C compared to pycharm and clion. The latter just work without fiddling with config files.

The docs have test cases embedded in the markdown. This is a pretty cool use of markdown. I have started doing something similar with markdown in my project. I wonder if other programming languages have done this too.

Yes, it’ll have single line comments notated with a hash symbol.

I’m going to work on a file format to help test my compiler. It’s a json superset that will compile to json. The goal is to hopefully save me from too many curly-braces syndrome.
