| >It's ironic that you complain about this because Zig is probably the most "normal editor" friendly programming language for exactly the kind of thing mentioned in the article. echo Who complained, $(echo bsder | sed 's/sd/ro/') ? ;) Not me. Don't put words into my mouth. (I don't care if I got the above shell syntax wrong), this was just a quickie, for fun ;) you seem to have misunderstood my words, in the exact opposite way from what I meant. congrats. not! >I don't need an IDE who told you that I needed an IDE? chill, willya? and, wow: >to figure out the 12 options to that function and fill them out with the correct defaults. I don't have to hunt through 23 layers of mysterious header files to find the declaration I need to figure everything out. etc. 12 and 23, exaggerating much? we are not talking about win32 API functions, podner. >Just try figuring out a foo(12).bar(14).baz("HELP!").fixme("ARRGH!") construction chain in C++ or Rust without an IDE. Oof. Don't resort to theatrics or histrionics to make your point (like HELP! and ARRGH!), (I am allowed to, tho, because i > u :) >1) Zig doesn't encourage those and 2) in Zig I can trace the @import() calls and actually run "grep" on things. faaakkk! though a bsder, you find header files mysterious, and cannot grep through them, if they are in C++ or Rust, eh? are find and xargs your enemies? or even just ls - R | grep
