    I’m actually using Emacs and messing with both the C++ and JSON from the FOSS game Cataclysm DDA while compiling and hacking around. I’m also working on integrating AI with llama.cpp into Emacs. I’ve never been able to break into the whole IDE space effectively. I can easily mess with VSC and other easy stalkerware options, but when I actually watch my internet logs, I refuse to accept that kind of traffic and connections as normal.

        Emacs is a Text Editor mostly used for coding. It has a very steep learning curve, pretty hard to master but very powerful

        C++ is a programming language

        FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software

        Cataclysm DDA (Dark Days Ahead( is a video game, and because it’s FOSS you can modify it (programming) if you know what you’re doing.

        Llama.CPO is a C++ library providing ChatGPT like features to a program. In this case Emacs.

        IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. Basically text editors but optimized for coding, like Emacs.

        VSC stands for Visual Studio Code, which is another IDE owned by Microsoft. Hence the complaints against their internet logs. Microsoft collect too much data with VSC.

        I have tried it, but had trouble when every project and example relies on stuff that only works with the m$ version. Emacs is the exact opposite with real people sharing in a free and open public commons.

          You can connect VSCodium to the VSCode marketplace and then have access to all of the same plugins that VSCode has. The only thing that doesn’t work properly is .NET because… Microsoft.
