"Tools are essential to having a good programming experience, so here's a glimpse of what I like to use."

Code editors

You can't code without code editors, or can you? The definition for one is quite vague so I'll stick to the non esoteric ones here.

Doom Emacs

Github Repository

Doom Emacs is a great configuration layer for Emacs and I really like to use it for my Maths lectures. It has great VIM and Latex support, and tons of plugins. My favorite command for LaTeX is probably C-c C-e

VSCode

VSCode's website

Do I really need to comment on this one? A galaxy of plugins, tons of languages supported, awesome themes, great customizability. (also distributions not compiled by Microsoft e.g. VSCodium)

Helix

The Helix project's website

I don't actually use Helix anymore, I kind of slowly drifted away from using it over the last year. It's still a great editor though! And if you like simplicity and things that work right out of the box, this is probably one of the best editors out there for you.

Programming Languages (PLs)

I'll probably make a dedicated post on the ones I like to us but here's a small list:

  • Elixir (which inspired the defs and other quirky syntax elements that may appear on the website)
  • Rust
  • Typescript/Javascript
