This is not a new and unexplored concept.

This is an issue of eyesight, a ridiculously high DPI without corresponding scaling, or both.

Yes.

Said no IDE user, ever.

> Are there any plugins which are binary compatible between more than one IDE? That seems hard.

No. And who cares?

The fact that we're typing this, and it works -- without the entire world falling apart because of crashes in complex library code -- demonstrates why this is not remotely bonkers.

And as for your question, the answer is ... yes. Sure. Why not? That's what we already do in nearly all IDEs.

If you insist on using IPC, then you've incurred a great deal of friction in a place that it matters.

If you insist on using JSON IPC, then you've incurred a great deal of overhead in a place that it matters.

- The pain of exposing language-native compiler/language AST and indexing APIs to a JavaScript IDE.

- RMS' inability to accept that GCC might need to expose an AST to external consumers, and his paranoia regarding how that might undermine his GPL-everywhere ideals.

Using JSON for local IPC -- and requiring IDE language support to funnel itself across that high-overhead IPC connection -- is fey.

These are merely "lived experiences" as related by a self-selected group under the banner of a very specific ideology.

I don't know what you're talking about; it's an inherently political position rooted in coherent ideology.

Does Rust also have polls to determine the number of contributors who are Christian, and an outreach program to increase those numbers?

Let's say I want to objectively evaluate the notion that there is such a thing as an arbitrary, self-declared, non-binary "gender" (or "gender identity") that can range across any number of "genders".

In that case, can you specify the set of propositions used to classify something as a "gender"?

Is your definition purely self-referential (cyclic)?

Does your definition exclude other social self-identifications, such as "goth" or "emo"? Why or why not?

Does your definition rely on references to "biological sex" (e.g. male/female)? If so, what are the sexes "male" and "female"?

If anything, this process (and the efforts from which it stems) seem purposefully designed to eliminate intellectual diversity, in favor of a rigid monoculture maintained by empowering political officers in the enforcement of right-think.

Over millions of years, the species in that lake evolve ... and lose their eyesight.

In that environment, how much value is there in diversity of traits like color?

Germany banned Hitler from public speaking in the 1920s; all this did was give Hitler more notoriety, and the NSDAP more propaganda material to work with.

Nazi Germany still did not emerge through democratic processes; they failed to gain a parliamentary majority despite years of street/voter harassment. Instead, they subverted democracy by exploiting a civil liberty loophole in the Weimar Constitution.

If anything, the rise of Nazi Germany demonstrates why such loopholes in protections for civil liberties are so fundamentally dangerous. For a more modern example, look at how "hate speech" laws in Russia are in fact used to silence political dissent.
