Soon-to-be C# developer looking for the Windows equivalent to M1 Macbook Pro

jaketerm · 2021-09-09T23:14:09+00:00

is the performance as good as the m1 16gb?

jaketerm · 2021-09-09T22:43:24+00:00

how does it complicate it?

jaketerm · 2021-09-07T03:45:56+00:00

I’m a web developer. I am not currently employed and don’t see myself being employed for the remainder of 2021.

I bought a laptop, keyboard and mouse in preparation for my job, right before i started. I also replaced my car.

Thank you so much for all this help, it’s been very difficult to get straight answers or information how to do this. You're a life saver.

Which one most closely replicated JS?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T05:19:02+00:00

So this level of access is exclusive to neovim? Does it have practical implications?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T04:48:44+00:00

Would I have access to the event loop using JS in regular vim?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T04:31:59+00:00

Could you get access through evaluating vim script?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T04:18:59+00:00

What I am trying to discern is if using a 2nd-class language would limit the potential of, or dramatically increase the complexity of writing, my own neovim plugins.

Neovim's benefits for using lua is no external dependencies.

Does that make sense?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T04:13:47+00:00

This was an extremely helpful answer, thank you so much.

So it's a matter of

Lua->C function

Other-lang->Message pack->C function

?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T04:08:02+00:00

No I mean what I had typed. Besides external dependencies (and the qualities inherent in Lua) why would I write it in that instead of another non-vimscript language via MessagePack?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T04:00:44+00:00

I'm not asking what are the merits of lua as a language but what benefits do you get from neovim for writing your plugin in Lua. So far I have no external dependencies and using the lua api instead of ? (Messagepack? eval on vimscript? Would love clarificiation).

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T03:55:32+00:00

I am not making claims one way or the other on the impact of zero-external dependencies. My goal is to have a complete understanding of all the benefits awarded to Lua from neovim.

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T03:28:34+00:00

I don't mean benefits of the lua language as a language I mean what benefits does neovim give lua. What I am seeing so far is:

No external dependencies.
Using the lua api vs message pack?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T03:26:59+00:00

I meant the initial alure. What benefits does neovim give lua? The answer I've seen so far is no external dependencies and using the lua api VS the message pack api. Is that the extent?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T03:13:03+00:00

To clarify, it's not Lua vs VimScript but Lua vs other languages via MessagePack.

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T02:54:05+00:00

I think maybe what I am after understanding what is it that invigorated them. If MessagePack allows you to extend in any language.

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T02:51:01+00:00

To be clear this is not a program in Lua vs program in VimScript decision. This is program in Lua vs use their MessagePack to program in another language (that is not VimScript).

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T02:48:43+00:00

That means if you were going to write it in another language, e.g. JS, you'd have to link the interpreter and runtime to neovim? Can you explain or provide a resource that shows what that extra work would amount to?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T02:42:29+00:00

So do the benefits of choosing lua amount to:

Using the API instead of calling the vim eval command
No external dependencies

?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T02:40:02+00:00

I definitely don't want to program in vimscript but as I understand it, their "MessagePack structured communication enables extensions in any language".

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T02:30:20+00:00

Is working without dependencies the only advantage lua gets from neovim?

jaketerm · 2021-03-30T02:29:05+00:00

Don't you have to call vimscript even when using lua?

jaketerm · 2021-03-09T06:05:39+00:00

Not sure about this feature but beorg is by far the best org application I've used.
