Interesting piece of webdev solving.
I've never realized how much time tests take to write.
I've never realized how much time tests take to write.
I've gotten far enough along on my project, I finally decided to move from manual testing as I write to using automated testing for what I've finished. Doing it in bulk, I've never realized how much time tests take to write. Found some bugs and now I'm almost done writing tests for what I have. @furprogs
What was your first programming language? What is/are your most used?
My first was Matlab. Most used is probably python, and then you get into my professional niche, VHDL, C, TCL.
So I'm making a gallery website

The first post I brought it up in. I don't know if I'll finish it, but I have started to write it. I even went so far as to get a domain. It wasn't my first choice, but its not bad. So any ideas, features, etc.. are welcome, as is anybody that wants to help with it or advice for making it. I'm not quite ready to give out the name publicly yet, but if anybody is curious I'll message you.
Lapce IDE (written in rust)
Not sure if anyone has played with this IDE yet, it is written in rust and in its early days. But I have toyed with it a little bit, and I have been pretty impressed with how fast and light weight it feels compared to like VSCode... that said, the lack of some of the plugins I use in VSCode keeps me from making a full switch. But I thought I would share it.

Uiua: A stack-oriented array programming language
A neat little stack-based array programming language. I've even implemented the sinebow function that generates a nice image:
undefined
sinebow ← ⍉×.○×π⊞+÷3⇡3↯⊂∶↷-0.5÷∶⇡..360 sinebow 100

Seems like the Unity fiasco has invigorated FOSS engine development.

Vim/Nvim users: what are some plugins everyone should know?
Title: what are some plugins everyone should use in their configs?
Personally i think that Telescope + nvim-dap are a must know, to quickly navigate around a codebase and get a good debugging experience out of the box
What are some algorithm challenges sites you would suggest?
I'm trying to use neovim as my full-time editor, and to get more comfortable i'd like to avoid working on my side projects and instead work on smaller coding challenges, since they're often doable in one single source file.
What are some sites you guys would suggest? (e.g adventofcode)
Factor is a concatenative, stack-based programming language with high-level features including dynamic types, extensible syntax, macros, and garbage collection. On a practical side, Factor has a full-featured library, supports many different platforms, and has been extensively documented.
The implementation is fully compiled for performance, while still supporting interactive development. Factor applications are portable between all common platforms. Factor can deploy stand-alone applications on all platforms. Full source code for the Factor project is available under a BSD license.
It's been five years since the last release, but Factor 0.99 finally came out. I even contributed a small bit of code and documentation fixes. If you are interested in a modern stack-based programming language or curious about concatenative programming, give Factor a look.

A talk demonstrating the Factor programming language. This was the talk that got me into writing stuff with Factor. It's really hard to go back to writing code when you can't constantly interact with it.
The gist of Factor is that it's an extensible, stack-based, and compiled programming language.
