What is the best container when it comes to every-day usage in a scientific computing environment?
sapo··on The next open source editor is here
I started using vim 9 years ago. I started using neovim 4 years ago. I have a complex neovim setup based on lunarvim that I was used to maintain. Then, I discovered Helix. One file, 50 lines. Stop. LSP, fuzzy finder, debugger, tree-sitter, custom commands, modal editing, external scripts. Everything.

It only lacks snippets (support planned in a while) and a plugin system. It doesn't have copilot/codeium for now, but I use GPT models via shell command (e.g. shell_gpt).

Look at the release page to understand how fast they are developing it. In one year it became something completely different, from being barely usable to be a complete, fast, and easy to configure editor. Raedy to go with 50 lines of toml configuration.

Helix has the second most growing community among open source editors on GitHub. Just look at this image. Impressive.

When considering python standard types and ease of use, such as lists and dicts

The project seems interesting but for me the link doesn't work (Firefox Beta on Android 8).

Also, can you add instructions for installing the server on my own?
