dotfiles VS polygott

You can take a look at my nvim configs here. I’m a Ruby dev, and like to poke around with my nvim configuration as a hobby. I’m pretty happy with where I have it, although it’s always a work in progress.

Not an answer to you're question, but do youferl safe doing (https://github.com/jchilders/dotfiles/blob/main/Makefile#L34)

> sudo curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/in... | /bin/bash

piping the output of a curl command to sh without first checking the sha256 of the file you just got?

That was my impression. I’ve been doing this for years with Ruby, tmux, and some custom zsh widgets.

These are my dotfiles. I'm a Rails dev, and I'm using neovim nightly + solargraph. Here's a partial screenshot of something I'm working on right now showing a rubocop warning for the current line. The window showing it is being provided by lspsaga.

I know people like playing with neovim’s terminal buffers these days, but in the spirit of “use the right right tool for the job”, I gave up on using nvim for things like this and went back to tmux. I have a mapping I use that runs rspec in the adjacent pane. It uses tmux’s send-keys to do the right thing. You could do the same thing, only instead of executing rspec, you would send it your tail command.

May I ask why you didn't use something like Ansible to build such a complex image? With appropriate package version pinning (which it's the real crux here) it should work well enough to get a reproducible build.

I understand it would already have been something different from a pure Dockerfile so it's not that fair to compare buuut...

Look into how repl.it built their platform, especially their polygott Docker image. You can find out plenty of information about how these systems are built if you delve deeper into their ecosystem.

Repl.it has an in-progress OCaml repl option sort of hidden away because it's "WIP"; and by WIP I mean it works for editing and saving is basically broken otherwise and has been for a few years (according to Sys.ocaml_version it's using OCaml 4.05 from 2017) because of a claim of focusing on core features instead of more languages. Though that didn't stop them from adding other languages since, including adding ReasonML (via NodeJS and BuckleScript) since then, so the argument is bullshit and they'll probably never get it working.

If you look at the repo under the gen directory you’ll see the Dockerfile template. It builds on the Ubuntu base image (line 6 FROM Ubuntu...) which means you will get a bash shell (default login shell) in each container built from it.

You said the spat was about him "allegedly open sourcing their project". How could he do that when it was already open source (at https://github.com/replit/polygott)?

Slightly off-topic - what is a secure way to run arbitrary code in arbitrary languages in a server? I know replit's polygott docker container allows it.
