Oh, and I just submitted a link to my article about C. I am pretty sure no one will click it.

Articles about C never get much traffic, but that is fine. I wrote it because I care about how things really work, not because I expect it to trend. If even a few people read it and see the beauty in the old language that still runs the world, that is enough.

I would like to find more articles on C so feel free to share, thanks

I think you completely missed the context for the configuration issues in vim:

I’ve been trying to get a working language server setup (so I can do things like “go to definition”) and getting a setup that feels good in Vim or Neovim just felt like too much work.

It might have been a bit harder in the past, but with recent versions of neovim (>=0.11) it's less than 20 lines of configuration. I have quite a few keybindings to jump back and forth through errors and the default keybidings already include things like renaming, go to definition or listing references.

I'd be more than happy to help you configuring it to your needs.

I tossed pathogen in favor of git submodules in ~/.vim/pack/*/start/ in 2017 and it's still like that.

same here - works great and never needed anything else.

This was an interesting read and very educational in my case, but each time I read an article criticizing a programming language it's written by someone who hasn't done anything better.

It's a shame because it is just as effective as pissing in the wind.

It looks like this works by stripping away the type information, so at best it saves you a transpilation pass and doesn't improve safety.

I agree, that said if the main reason people use TypeScript is security they should use a decent programming language instead.

it reminded me of Adobe Flex (probably without its "bad" parts) - nice work, congrats to the developers.
