@neogoose_btw Could it be that your tree-sitter is not autostarting anymore? Have you tried `vim.treesitter.start()`?

Am I the only thinking that the new code highlight in neovim 0.12 is worse?

@BrianHa84402559 @NoContextDutch1 No Naarden is much larger has a church in the center. I think this is Bourtange, Groningen

@NoContextDutch1 Naarden, right? Such an amazing place! Brilliant Dutch engineering!

simpler website stack (aka "migrate to hugo") => more contributors 🦾 => no more ".html" suffix on the docs pages 😍 example: neovim.io/doc/user/nvim thanks to Yochem!

@justinmk @Neovim 🙏🙏

finally migrated neovim.io to Hugo example of when tooling *does* matter: Jekyll was so painful, no one wanted to touch the site after migrating, did several long-needed changes*, which were 20x easier because: - builds quickly - not fighting ruby gems - local serve works *e.g. fix syntax highlighting

@FamiuHaque Thanks Famiu! I've been enjoying your (much larger!) contributions too :)

This is hype as hell

@skywind3000 @Neovim Lua is one of the smallest embeddable scripting languages with great interop with C. Luajit as also one of the fastest scripting languages. The simplicity of Lua is a feature as not everyone is used to OOP. Also, Lua classes do exist and are great. Global-first sucks though.

Why not choose JS/TS in the first place? Lua is nice for small scripts, but it’s a nightmare for complex projects: 1. Variable scope defaults to global, requiring local everywhere; 2. It lacks exceptions or an error-handling mechanism, and nil is overused; 3. There are no classes or modules — every project has to invent its own class and module standards, which makes your scripts hard to share across projects.

Migrating business logic from C to Lua is now operationalized and routine. We are seeing code reductions of 2x or 3x, while also improving the same features. For example, migrating the ":help local-additions" feature gained a bonus layout improvement. github.com/neovim/neovim/…

@mitchellh Will this also fix the issue of scaling on external displays (macos)? Text is huge on my external display. I think the issue is mentioned in github.com/ghostty-org/gh…

Been working on a new developer overlay system in Ghostty and majorly improving the inspector. Here is an example of the "semantic prompt" overlay in the renderer, plus the right pane shows that this screen has seen semantic content at least once (showing proper integration). The overlay system works by using CPU-rendered 2D graphics and compositing them on top of the terminal screen via the GPU using the same image shaders we use for features like Kitty Graphics Protocol. Choosing to use a CPU renderer for the overlay is a pragmatic one: it lets us iterate more quickly on these debug tools, its immediately cross-platform (no per-platform shaders), and the debug overlay is not typically on so it doesn't need to be as optimized as everything else. Enabling these debug overlays does "blow up" our frame draw times from ~30us to ~600us but just remember there are 8300us in a 120fps frame. So, we're going to be okay.

@serasid @mitchellh 99.9999% of people using a browser never open up devtools there. Just like the browser's devtools, this is mostly for TUI developers, not users

@mitchellh Why does the terminal app need any of these? Honest, question, not that I'm trying to challenge it. I've been using iterm + tmux for ages. Do I miss anything folks? :)

@fiddyresearch @mitchellh @jeremyphoward Every terminal emulator would show this popup if a program running inside is trying to open that directory. Download any terminal, cd to your ~/Photos folder and the popup will showup. The memory leak is fixed (see earlier @mitchellh tweets)

@mitchellh @jeremyphoward Ghostyy is asking permission to read my photos library randomly btw. I am at thr point where I do not trust what it does anymore. It also had a massive memory leak when I was using opencode.

Anyone using Wezterm? I've been having quite a few issues with Ghostty recently (particularly with trying to paste more then a few lines of text in—it often truncates) so wondering about trying something else. I've used alacritty before, and liked it. wezterm.org

@lukas_caha @dhh @Perpetualmaniac @ThePrimeagen On B: DHH clearly aligns with the unrestricted vision, arguing that skilled developers don't need the excessive "guide rails" that strict typing brings. Instead of a priori correctness, DHH favors posterior correctness by unit tests and quick feedback loops ig

@dhh @Perpetualmaniac @ThePrimeagen Just asked AI what analogy is hidden in the book you are mentioning. I'd never guessed it myself. So you are saying which: A. The two visions are in duality and it doesn't matter which you pick, both have pros/cons B. You are embodying one of them. Which? All for dynamic typing?

this is genuinely a dumb thing to say you may have heard of logic, it's where the vast majority of bugs come from

@ml4pai @mitchellh @chrisbycreme Well, nice that different tools exist for different use cases and preferences right?

@yoch3m @mitchellh @chrisbycreme Idk, im using tmux, alacritty and neovim for years and i had no issues whatsoever. I tried with ghostty for couple of months, but over time it became something i dont prefer or want (too much features i dont care about), so i just reverted back to alacritty cuz its minimalistic.

crazy that ghostty is tracking to replace my entire terminal setup one day native, done right, is so much better

@ml4pai @mitchellh @chrisbycreme It's another layer of abstraction. When something renders wrong in Neovim, is it Neovim, Tmux, or Ghostty? It's also a noticble bottle neck; ghostty feels faster when I'm not using tmux

@yoch3m @mitchellh @chrisbycreme But why would you want tmux implemented inside the terminal emulator, when tmux already exists, and it does everything you need, it makes no sense, just use tmux man.

@mitchellh @chrisbycreme Wow thanks! Must have read over it.

@yoch3m @chrisbycreme Note prefix mode already exists. See the docs they’re called key sequences

@mitchellh @chrisbycreme For me to drop tmux: - detachable sessions and a way to visually select them (like tmux choose-tree iirc) - a "prefix mode" like tmux, where the keybindings don't have to be pressed simultaneously - a (mouseless) copy mode where I can select and copy text

@chrisbycreme What's missing for you still?

@willmcgugan It's answered in their FAQ: #what-is-curl" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">curl.se/docs/faq.html#…

Is curl supposed to be pronounced "See URL"? Because that makes sense, but I hadn't thought about it until now.

@_waleedshahid Beautifully written. Thank you!

Wrote a little essay about the strange, tender moment when friends visit your newborn and someone asks, “Do you want to hold her?” It turns out that question is a bit of a Rorschach test in coupledom. waleed-shahid.com/p/you-can-hold…

@justinmk @mitchellh Btw I noticed that Ghostty _can_ be used to open files on double click, but shows a warning when the file is not executable. Would be _a lot_ easier if Ghostty would in that case open that file with $EDITOR

@yoch3m @mitchellh Use "Combine with Spaces" so that Nvim can open all selected files. Todo: how to make Quick Action work on double-click?

What's missing? (Serious, soliciting feedback). Even if you don't use Shortcuts, what do you wish you could automate with a terminal that isn't present here?

@justinmk @mitchellh Oh the todo: I'm pretty sure that's an apple restriction. The old trick (before shortcuts) was to use Automator to make an "app" which is a glorified shell script that opens the file. Then you choose to use that "app" to open file

@justinmk @mitchellh Not sure why I don't have "New terminal", but either way, this works for me:

@mitchellh how do I pass the files/folders that the shortcut was invoked with, to the "Command" in the ghostty "New Terminal" action? or is there another way to pass args to a Command?
