Actually... I use my own keybindings which are more ergonomic twist of Emacs bindings. For example for moving char left I use C-d and to move word left I use C-S-d (control+shift+d). Convenient to press using both hands (using right shift with pinky). Of course Control is swapped with Caps lock.

No, I use Emacs keybindings in the rest of the tools. Tried to use vim bindings but they don't seem to do everything correctly or smoothly and it annoys me.

Friend... don't try to "switch". Just use multiple tools at the same time. I personally use all: Neovim (great writing/editing experimence, LSP+Treesitter+fzf allow you to get really far), Emacs (for Magit), VS Code (if Neovim or Emacs breaks I can still edit the code ;)) and WebStorm to run tests using nice and rich UI. Don't try to limit yourself artficially.

If your goal was to release some library with a website - you made it, congrats. Looks really nice to my eyes.

However, as a developer, I want to see something else:

1. Example projects created with this library. Challenges, solutions, pains, wins.

2. Video demonstrating how you created simple app with your lib. Reading docs is a too high bar in very crowded JS ecosystem. For example I want to see:

  - how tooling works, 
  - how debugging works, 
  - how build process works.
  - anything else this tool is strong with.

If your goal was to create this library - then, again - you made it. But what next? Best libraries or frameworks are created during work on some real project and they are extracted from the target creation.

One more thing about iPad: I think it has the best on the market form factor, see pictures how magic keyboard elevates the iPad device which makes it's floating in the air a bit. I want to have the same for other laptops, because when you type on normal laptop in LAPTOP position, your fingers stand in your eyesight covering bottom part of the screen which is atrocious. AND: computer is in the screen which makes keyboard always cool. The same as in Surface Pro.

Until recently I owned both MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max and iPad Pro 12.9 with magic keyboard. I love MacBook Pro 16 for work either on desk with connected big display or on laptop stand. Occasionally I use it as a notebook flat on the desk, but don't really like it long term, it forces you to look down which is not comfortable. But I HATE MBP16 to use as a LAPtop, it's too big, I can stand it maybe for 30min, max 1h.

So here comes iPad Pro 12.9 - lightweight (maybe not that light including Magic Keyboard), but it's great to use in laptop way, on chair, in bed etc. Great to browse web, scroll through videos and write notes or emails. I liked this form factor so much that I started to figure out how to make it a coding machine. That's problematic of course, so I ended up buying paid terminal App in App Store to connect over ssh/mosh to some server/other machine and use terminal with tmux/nvim etc. Installed nerdfonds, started using TUIs and it was working pretty well. But, I hate terminals for long term real work. I want to use heavy UI debuggers, click around/browse, move etc, my work is not only inserting text. I considered buying Asus Zenbook s13 OLED and install Linux on it to have two devices to use depending on my mood and physical position I wanna have. But, first, Zenbook is on Intel/Ryzen which means heat and fan noise, two, there are high risks my linux setup will require tweaks and care which I'm not interested in.

In summary: I bought base MacBook Air 13 M2 and use it as couch/cafe machine as alternative to MPB 16. So I have 3 Apple devices. Which is... fine?

The obvious solution is to use nor ORMs or raw SQL generated with various helpers in your language, but to open up DB engine to execute low level bytecode. Think: DB=GPU, SQL=GLSL, what's actually executed -> compiled code.

So there should be a different tool used which will intercept environment variables reads and will log them.

It would for env vars as well, why not? Just trace program trying to reach out for some var X from env.

I disagree it's responsibility of the tool. Program should just reach out for files and some higher order or meta runner should trace what the process does. One of the commenters mentioned `strace`, this is the correct approach, but should be done in well engineered way.

Other way is to run program in symbomlic interpreter and trace what it wants to read in any of the branches.

Of course I'm a chatbot, how dare you to think it was written by mere real person ;)

Thanks for becoming a mirror (although what happened was you wrote a "mirror" comment of my comment, not me), however I'm really interested in better tools. None of the tools I know fully satisfy me. GUIs are less comfortable and slower than TUIs, of course depending on task you want to accomplish. If comes to thing like Emacs w/ Magit + evil mode which is ~(n)vim and task which is text editing or even maybe code editing - can't really find anything better more versatile and fast.

I'm interested in merging all known ideas (including Smalltalk IDEs) and moving forward.

Perhaps I have higher expectations which I didn't explain anywhere. Hard to tell full story in short text comment.

Why did you make it personal, let's focus on talking about things/ideas.

I'm not even trying to comment your guess about what "target" I am.
