Giving #Helix editor a spin this week. Built-in LSP, tree-sitter, file tree, command palette with keybinding hints. Configuration took 15 minutes (with AI help!) and I have everything I need. Feels like someone took everything I wanted from #Neovim and just shipped it. 🤔

More success porting Lilypond/Frescobaldi capabilities over to Neovim: I can now easily do musical transformations on Lilypond notation!

I can transpose passages, double/halve the durations, dot/undot everything, apply a completely new rhythmic pattern, or remove repeated duration indicators or make them explicit again.

I'm switching my local #Linux #development vm from vanilla #Ubuntu to #linuxmint #xfce.

That's a lot of change crammed together for my day to day work. Ngl I'm wondering if this is a good idea. But #yolo.

I guess the question applies to any text editor or IDE.

🚨 New Blog Post Alert: Kotlin-lsp Packaging Pt 2

First time dealing with prebuilt binaries in Nix. What looked like a simple version bump ended up involving a native library, some patchelf debugging, and pulling in libgcc for libgcc_s.so.1.
