Oh, I think I've seen this. If I remember correctly SQLite uses it.
Thanks.

Python. It's really easy to learn and write, it has a huge community, and it's fast (for an interpreted language).
It's also used a lot in the AI/ML area, and with the rise of LLMs, it'll probably provide some amount of job security.

I never really thought about it. I guess some people just like having those features, but I find them annoying.
I use Neovim with 0 plugins (apart from themes). I code in Go, and frequently reference https://pkg.go.dev.
When I do need to code in VS Code (rarely), I find that the autocomplete just gets in the way of my though process. It's like having a train of though barreling along and then suddenly an elephant gets on.
Also, I didn't even know what an language server was until looking it up after reading this post.
About Copilot: I have many problems with AI. They guzzle electricity, tend to be run by corrupt corporations, and are filling the internet with BS.
If I need to look up the definition/implementation? `:vsplit` works fine. If it's on the internet? https://pkg.go.dev.

Before even looking at this, I was reminded of this video[1] by Tom Scott.
Pretty cool, though :)

I occasionally browse Reddit (I don't have an account), but I think I knew that it was going bad back when all those subreddits were protesting.
Back then, it wasn't because of bots, but I did think that most websites going through enshittification will eventually be filled with bots.
I did find https://discuit.net to be a good alternative, as well as Lemmy.

And if it's not, or you need something more secure, there's always Matrix.

Python. I like to code in Go, but I find Python the easiest for small things I'll only use once.
I used C to do some of the old ones. That was painful (I was a complete C beginner).

I really liked your book and plan to use it when I need to teach people how to code, so thanks a ton.

I tried running `*.java` files without classes (so just `void main`) and I got this error:
```
Hello.java:1: error: class, interface, or enum expected
void main() {
^
```

It's a great one.
Thank you!
