joes-sandbox VS nvim-dap

VSCode isn’t fine, you are just suffering from web app Stockholm syndrome: https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/blob/master/editor-p...

VSCode is slower than Emacs/Vim at e.g. syntax highlighting a large file by a factor of three. It’s slower on a search and replace by a factor of seven. It’s slower than those editors by about the same ratio as Atom is slower than VSCode.

It's amazing how old ZPL is. I wrote a Zebra-140 driver (in C..) in something like 1993.

It's a simple macro-based typesetting language that can be used to quickly make many different label images from a database. You uploaded the compiled labels into a handheld computer so that labels could be printed on a production line. One option for the computer was the original Psion Organizer II.

I've done similar things with UARTs over long distance- I was about to write about it, but I actually have it github:

CAN is interesting in that the protocol is pretty complex, but from software point of view it's just send_packet() and register a handler for receive packets. The annoying thing is that MCUs don't have built-in CAN line drivers.

A new thing is 1000BASE-T1- Gigabit Ethernet over a single twister pair. This is supposed to be the future in the auto world..

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.
