This is starting to get out of hand...

We shouldnt be makig more IDEs we should be eliminating them.

Like Ryan Dahl once said:

“We should not be supporting more programming languages. We should be killing them. All these bullshit projects are confusing people.”

Same with fucking IDEs...

For some reason, appcelerator, sublime, and unity didnt want to get categorized under developer tools

@repollo to be fair we don't really "want" to categorize them as such either

@hortensis yes...

PS. My lazy dev ass just categorized my items and thats what it got me, you know the old use a tool for that and ill get you all the way to 90%

Hard to believe is 2017... /s

I see you love electron apps!

Different IDE's solve different problems.

Just as different languages focus on different problems.

There will always come new once while the large once either steal and incorporate new ideas from smaller once or start the road to irrelevance while a new one starts to rise.

The thing is that new ideas thrive better in a small project until it had prove itself. It the starts to spread or dies of.

Trying to get every one to just use the same will hamper creativity.

Eclipse was started as the IDE to replace all others but for a long time it was very slow and required so much effort to setup and configure.

So the day we stop seeing new IDE's or programming language is the day we know AI's have really made us obsolete ;)

@Voxera that last “statement” sounds alot like neuralink. Did you read Urban’s post* on waitbutwhy.com before writing that?

@Skayo i dont know what your talking about...

@repollo no had not heard of it before but Elon Musk is cool ;)

@Voxera read it.

@repollo It was interesting.

Read about a related project a year ago where they used a small net (as in fishing net) that was made from nano materials. This was rolled up and inserted into an animal brain where it unfolded.

They then feed a small current into the net where the crossings was made as conductive nodes.

Within a few weeks nerves had attached them self to these points.

The theory is that once you have these couplings the brain will learn to use them.

The net had 400 connectors and they believe from other animal studies that if you feed the same pattern for the same object that the subject is examining through their hands the brain will "learn" to see through the connections.

Or you could feed the unicode value for all chars you write and if the theory holds you could then write by letting the brain feed the same pattern back.

Same with mouse.
