May I introduce you to Neovim? It has Lua. Learn Lua now.

i like my arrays starting from 0 thank you

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like my arrays iterable, that’s all I need to know. No matter if the index is 0, 1, 'foo', or a serialized array (oh wait, no, that’s PHP).

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not an array, that's a string.
Someone is converting an array to a string and is using that as key.

A lot of languages could do it, and none of them should.

Every LAN party has at least one public FTP available that is called "my ass" and at least one person yells "Put that in my ass!".

Learn Lua on Hawaii just to configure your editor! Join the group!

I know Lua. Lua is why I won't use neovim.

It's not so Bad if you don't develope plugins. And vimscript is still there

[–] mdhughes@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Or I can use actual Vim (RIP Bram) and have new vimscript, and no Lua.

I love Lua. Can I do anything useful with it?

I don't know a language. Some sort of decision freeze. I've tried Lua, C#, Linux BASH, and Java. I went from learning C# to homelabbing proxmox. I have more success learning IT stuff.

Also I haven't used Vim or Emacs, but I used to rebind ALL of my keys in every game I played. I deeply love keybinding and using the keyboard rather than the mouse.
