delian66on JOVE – Jonathan’s Own Version of Emacs

I still use both emacs and jed.

jed starts very fast and has much lower memory usage, so it is well suited for quick edits of configuration files and scripts and other workflows, where you start your editor in your shell, instead of the other way around.

emacs (through packages) can be turned into a custom IDE for a lot of languages, but takes more disk space and uses more RAM.

delian66on Delta: A syntax-highlighting pager for Git, diff, grep, and blame output

Because some people, prefer to use their terminal as their universal IDE.

Most of the time, diffs are small, and the overhead/break in workflow, of starting a separate GUI program just for them, can be big.

delian66on Glibc Buffer Overflow in Iconv

No, it is not blatant "North American and Western European bias".

I am Bulgarian, living in Bulgaria, a small country in Eastern Europe. My native language is Bulgarian. I also know English, Russian, and a little bit of French and Turkish.

I do not want to write, or read source code written in Bulgarian, or Russian or French, or Kiswahili, or Japanese etc. I want to use one single language for that. It currently happens to be English for historical reasons.

Supporting unicode in source code, will lead to language fragmentation, and will limit my ability to participate, and to understand everything already build by others.
