@hyde if only there was package that added flawless modal/Vim editing to Emacs. Which I could do package-install [somepackage] and be rid of all the ridiculous key combinations of Emacs

@farcaller hold space to go to mod layer. Symbols are mapped phonetically. Eg L maps to < (less than), G maps to >, N to !, E to =, O to | etc

@alexanderadam @h4ckernews @hadashia the more the merrier :-)

That being said, it’ll be hard to compete with DR’s packaging, platform targets, and developer expierience overall (obvious bias of course)

@xenodium it wasn’t super technical, but yea I felt that it was an important conversation to have

@Geniusak I don't know how to respond honestly.

You said you've yet so see any language succeed with this model.

Here's a link on official Unity website where they are doing exactly this: https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.2/Documentation/Manual/IL2CPP-HowItWorks.html

@Geniusak RE "I've yet to see any language succeed with this model":
.Net Core literally does this. .Net IL is converted to LLVM IR. Unity does this with their proprietary Mono Runtime via IL2CPP.

@Geniusak Crystal is way too big. We'd have to gut a large portion of it given the number of dependencies that assume that it's running in an environment where you have unrestricted access to c standard lib. To use stdio even you literally need kernel-level privileges on Console. JIT is also not allowed.

@eniko glad you liked it. I thought it got a little boring at some points towards the end >_<
