When I was a Physics Ph.D. student in NYU in the late nineties, I took a course called UNIX tools in the CS department. It was a hands on course where the instructor did live REPL in the terminal and we watched him showing us all the tricks. I got hooked with UNIX since then. Got myself a dialup terminal in my tiny apartment in east village and dial in to the workstation on campus. The latency is so bad that I can’t only see the feedback after a few keystrokes. That was when I trained my vi muscle memory. (EMacs was out of the question.) Later I got my own IBM 386 and installed Linux on it and started to program in Perl … I am a big fan of Jon’s YouTube videos on Rust and I started to use Rust in non conventional ways. I am going to follow this lecture series and “port” them to rustdoc and see how it goes. Another rabbit hole to fall down, it is going to be fun. | ||
