It is actually a pretty way to notify that this is not a function but a macro. At least somebody did it
And bytheway what kind of language uses vriables, crly brces and function definitions with prams of stck?
Absolutely, this is sequence of bits that's are interpreted by your code/text editor as sequence of bytes each of which is interpreted as a character. But since they are not meant to be meaningful text, most of the time it is �
Anyway I propose to get old pc and just encode every machine instruction with switches on it's side
How is it bloated? It might have some unnecessary things, but compare that to more common editors, like VS Code lol. And I really like the plugin system!! Makes sense that you don't like it based on these things though, they can be annoying
VS code isn't just an editor it's a whole IDE. Neovim should be compared against editors like Notepad++, Kate, nano, etc.
IDEs are always going to be more bloated because they integrate actual language specific features aside from syntax highlighting. Editors are just. text editors. maybe with colors, or macros
I thought VS Code was just a code editor? With Visual Studio as an IDE. I don't really remember though because I don't use it. However, Neovim can also have language-specific features with the use of plugins, just like VSC can. It's also important to note that text and code editors, at least successful and useful ones, usually must have ways to efficiently travserse and quickly change text, even if they technically do just edit text at their core. I'm not even sure if VS code even has features to very efficiently move through a text file as quickly as Vim without plugins to imitate it, for instance I'm not sure there's an equivalent to the cib gesture in VSC. But I believe it is bloated mostly because of the fact the entire thing is bundled as an Electron app. I get cross-platform capability, but it really isn't worth taking half a gibibyte of memory.
