​Hey Xah, what are your thoughts on Nim? Recently it reached 1.0 milestone.

Xah Lee
​morn kerick

Xah Lee
​nice

BartholomewJS
​@Kerick Leite Wow, someone else besides me knows Nim? Wow.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee It is my favourite language for my private stuff.

Kerick Leite
​Brazil.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Has metal balls. 😏

​@Xah Lee "This is the best keyboard in the universe, this is the best!" 1 minute later: "Actually, I wouldn't say it's the best."

​what is kill highlighted region shortcut in xah fly keys. is there a comprehensive list of leader key commands I can find?

Kerick Leite
​I had some experience in ancient Turbo Pascal, in the past. Currently learning Python. Read Nim is kind of a mix between Pascal and Python, so I'm thinking about learn it next, as my fast lang.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Why do you have the injury if you are already entirely ergo-transformed?

BartholomewJS
​@Kerick Leite Basically what I have learned in the past half year about Nim is that it is basically as simple or even simpler to write than Python, while being most of the time as fast as C.

​How to Avoid Emacs Pinky http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_pink...

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Very good idea. Because some people want only specific topic and then compain about it in the chat.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I like all your topics, except Emacs. Not really interested in that one.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I don't use Emacs. I use an editor you would probably laugh about.

weeaboo champloo
​thank you so much

Gantz akira
​name the editor ... @BartholomewJS

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I use Micro made by zyedidia.

dingo dingeroo
​Micro is pretty sweet actually. I tried it last year or something.

Justin Heyes-Jones
​@BartholomewJS never heard of micro before, it looks very minimalist in a good way

BartholomewJS
​@Justin Heyes-Jones Well I figured that people chanting "there is an emacs command/shortcut for that" would laugh about it, as it does not have the capabilities of Emacs, by far.

BartholomewJS
​@Justin Heyes-Jones But yes, this minimalistic aspect of it is what I like about it.

Justin Heyes-Jones
​I don't judge people, they can use what they like. People laugh that emacs does too much

weeaboo champloo
​what's the most important piece of software then? SQL or C?

dingo dingeroo
​Emacs users can't laugh, they're busy customizing emacs.

Justin Heyes-Jones
​I guess C is pretty important because of the all the system code that would have to be rewritten

Justin Heyes-Jones
​sql is everywhere too you're right

dingo dingeroo
​someone get him some tomato juice asap

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee How big would your party be if suddenly Linux disappeared?

Zwanzika Hatzel
​What do you think about Mark Tarver and his Shen language?

Liokardo
​Are you in Mac OS, able to move windows from anywhere in the window by holding a modifier or other? I think it could be useful for you

dingo dingeroo
​Most of them attack western philosophy without even studying it, then dive into eastern philosophy so they can add their own interpretations to it. These people wouldn't like real theravada

BartholomewJS
​@dingo dingeroo I know a lot of people that often dream of traveling far out, studying foreign cultures, while ignoring that sometimes they have great and interesting cultures in front of their faces.

dingo dingeroo
​@BartholomewJS Well said.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Clojure already has a big advantage being based on JVM.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Maybe you need to breath more Qi into your injury.

dingo dingeroo
​These concepts are more voltaire specifically than "western" imo

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee On Shen's website it never mentions "God". It says that Shen means something like "spirit".
