Seems like vim-markdown started having highlighting issues in the
recent neovim update. Since treesitter does everything we were using
vim-markdown for, we can use that instead.
Not interested in dealing with fixing the nixf-tidy issue here which
would cause a massive formatting diff with nixfmt-rfc-style. Might
upstream later or find a better solution without chameleon.nvim.
There really isn't a reason to use pug or ecr in 2024 when the
development experience with JSX/TSX is so great, and sticking to
what's popular makes it easier for other people to contribute.
I haven't used Vue in years and have much more expertise in vanilla
JavaScript/TypeScript with React and JSX/TSX, so there's really no
reason for me to keep it here.
As much as I love reading the Crystal programming language, it's clear
that there are more opportunities to be had with prioritizing Rust
instead. The ecosystem for Rust is vastly superior with higher quality
libraries and an LSP that's actually feature-complete, and I'd rather
deal with the known problems I'm aware of with Rust than the problems
I'm aware of with Crystal.
Rust won. Joking aside, the ecosystem for Rust is vastly superior, even
if the language is more difficult.
This was significantly increasing start time and I didn't use it too
much. There should be lighter alternatives out there that aren't
packaged in nixpkgs.
This actually isn't that useful and has some bugs where errors are shown
and the neovim tree window is used instead of the active window with the
CSV file.
This guarantees that auxiliary files won't be present in the current
directory from latexmk, and encourages reproducible pdfs with the usage
of tectonic.
Although typst is an interesting project, TeX has vastly superior
typesetting and a significantly larger repository of existing packages
and knowledge to extend upon.
I faced auto-updating issues with typst that weren't present with
vimtex, and TeX in general has better support for auto-completions due
to its \backslash usage.
Will be focusing on npm instead since tooling is excellent and I'd
rather have a package manager that's old, reliable, and just works
than a newer one that might be missing a feature I need.
This is a part of having separate flake.nix files for each project
and using devShells for the dependencies needed.
Note that using Crystal as a language seems less likely overall due to
the difficulty of building Crystal packages for nixpkgs and the lack of
tooling and library support compared to other languages like TypeScript
and Rust.
vim-prisma currently has an issue where the syntax highlighting gets
messed up as one scrolls. The treesitter version doesn't have this
issue, which makes it more pleasing to work with.
Note that Vue tooling is seemingly subpar compared to React + TypeScript
so despite learning Vue first (and Angular.js before that), I don't
think I'd ever want to work with Vue again after getting familiar with
functional programming and React.
