Text description (for those with screenreaders):
A portion of a prime number checker written in the Rust programming language, where the first few lines are written correctly including the first if statement in the program. However, the following if statements are written using Python syntax instead of Rust, as the author slipped back into his native tongue.
Yeah, like Vim. Who uses nano to code?
I did not realize nano implemented syntax highlighting!
I’m not sure what does and doesn’t control it, but I’ve installed nano on some Linux distros and it has no syntax highlighting at all, then other distros (currently using LMDE) just have it by default.
Well, in my defense I just wanted to initially try out Rust and on this particular computer, I don’t have any IDE set up on it yet. However, definitely seems like an IDE is in order for me haha
I was just being facetious by suggesting another commandline editor. ;P
I thought so but as I’m not a huge vim user myself, I thought maybe vim had some error detection like VSCode that could be set up and that’s what you meant.
In any case, VSCode will probably be the go for me
vim can have IDE-like capabilities thanks to lsp and tree-sitter. That’s a real game changer and is quite easy to set-up with something like kickstart.nvim.
I actually use Vim to write all my code, but without IDE-ifying it, just syntax highlighting and some navigation tweaks (with Sublime3 for help with bulk edits). For most of my stuff an IDE is overkill.
That’s not a command line editor, this is a command line editor 😜
