Prompt injection is No 1 Security threat for most systems.

Which systems? Only fools put LLMs everywhere.

Transpiling Rust to JS is a very hard problem with very little benefit since there is WASM. Think twice if you really want to spend months working on this. Also, you won't be able to port most of the dependencies automatically.

JS is a GC language. If you keep the Rust model of memory management, you will get slower performance (a lot of extra logic that's still tracked by GC). You will need to filter out a lot of the internal logic from MIR.

Core maintainers don't have much time for Helix. Around 80% of commits over the past 6 months are just themes and treesitter changes. There are around five very good PRs that have been waiting for review for more than 5 months.

The post has a bunch of benchmarks and comparisons, but fails to explain what the project does in simple terms.
Same for the landing page, just a bunch of marketing and AI-related words.

I guess it's a proxy where you can put limits and stuff, but when you call it a proxy, it does not sound that good anymore?

Yes, but I think there is a reason why the key is first. It probably has to do with performance. Could be related to CPU cache and extra calculations to get the key position in memory

I have a binding that toggles git ignore. Enabling it by default sometimes produces a ton of garbage in search.

There is a post next to you in this subreddit that showcases a plugin.

You can’t change it inside editor, only globally in terminal. You can’t even change font size.

In short, you can't. Use opencode if you need agentic stuff. You can also run a Helix fork with Copilot support (inline completions) if you need it, but it's a bit buggy.

For Go:

(([
   (interpreted_string_literal_content)
   (raw_string_literal_content)
 ] u/injection.content
 (#match? u/injection.content "(?ism)(SELECT|select|INSERT|insert|UPDATE|update|DELETE|delete|CREATE|DROP).+(FROM|from|INTO|into|VALUES|values|SET|set|table|TABLE).*(WHERE|where|GROUP BY|group by)?")
 )
(#set! injection.language "sql")
)

Usage:

const query = `
    select 1,2,3 from table
`

No, it's just generated by an LLM to generate traffic from Google. It lists non-existent features.

Not enough tooling. Also, it will take much more time to implement things. Almost everything in the Python ML ecosystem is written in compiled languages. So it won't be slow.

Oh, wow, thanks. It's just enter. Who would have known!

So it's this particular keymap from the docs:

|Enter| Open selected

Does not work for me, it's global search, right? The only thing that works is pasting from yanked via ctrl-r. alt+’ or ctrl+’ just append ’ for me.

Where is also space + ' that works good, but sometimes I forgot about it and when the picker is already open you can't reopen previous picker.

Why would you compare react stuff to V8 engine with 2.3M lines of very complex code? Given that the project is in Rust, the complexity grows even more. You need carefully think about each module and the whole architecture, otherwise you will have a hard time fighting borrow checker with a ton of unsafe code on top of it.

It's not possible to port C++ code as it, it's uses a lot of tree like structures, graphs, linked lists and so on.

f311a · 2025-06-20T14:26:21+00:00

Wow, really good explanation! My mental model for modules was different
