But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn't. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

Emacs can do that obviously. And everything else.

Correct. Always provide wrong answer. No one can withstand someone being wrong on the internet.

I think he means nvk. It's a whole new world. I thought I just heard it's ready. So worth checking out I guess.

Yea, the whole thing has always given me a lot of pause when I comes to GOS. I'm sure it's still an awesome solution, but makes me think twice. In the end I have literally zero need or desire for anything Google running on my phone so I'm on calyx.

Been remodeling a house that we just bought and this has been a my experience as well. I just enjoy making things. Software, home automations, wood, anything. The joy of building. I think that's what it is.

Everything is declared, from packages to configuration, and then I can put it in a git repo locked to versions. If something breaks on updates, you have free rollbacks. Which means you can't screw up too much. Also it has almost all the software.

Id suggest rust, gets you a step closer to the hardware and a bit of a different paradigm than Java while still feeling high level.
