You know that that is only an option and not a forced replacement for the "proper" API, right? Nobody is stopping you/me from writing plasmoid logic in C++.

pkgsrc and *BSD entered the chat.

Don't bother arguing with him. AUR is special because it is arch and arch is special and because he is using it and it has to be special!

Oh man, I am too tired. I read that as "Some comrades can't be executed by keyboard shortcuts ..." and was like, wtf! Then I read it again.

it will help developers

Until they break it.

ship extensions faster

Which they need to adress the regular breakages.

and with fewer bugs by using standard JavaScript modules and IDE support

If I wanted to suffer web technologies, I'd develop content targeting web browsers, not a DE. JavaScript does a lot of things, being conducive to bug free code is not one of them.

I really admire the pain tolerance and endurance of devs developing and maintaining extensions for gnome. At what point does it become acceptable for them to drop that garbage DE? Rhetoric question: always has been.

I remember this working really well on google. Recently (several months?) it didn't as I would expect. Fictional example: when searching for "asdf123" google would show results just containing 'asdf'. One particular thing I noticed was that google seems to omit underscores from verbatim strings. So for example when searching for "asdf_qwertz" it would show results that contained asdf and qwertz without the underscore.

I have not had a look at it myself, but my understanding is, that that was/is only glue code to the closed source blob.

Add-on: you really don't need to get rid of the quotes. It's a very reasonable behavior. You just need to learn/understand what they mean.

I love Use of Weapons. But it is one of the darker ones ... the Chairmaker ...

I'm not entirely set on it, but I think I'd recommend The Hydrogen Sonata as an entry into the series.
