swarm VS xmonad

Come join us at https://github.com/swarm-game/swarm/ ! We are very friendly and we have a bunch of small tasks suitable for beginners (see https://github.com/swarm-game/swarm/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22C-Low+Hanging+Fruit%22) . No Slack or Discord but we do have an IRC channel and a Gather.town space (though it's not used very actively at the moment).

All the above listed projects are really great, worthy projects. But if you're looking for something a bit more frivolous, check out https://github.com/swarm-game/swarm/ .

Check out Swarm if you like functional programming.

This is exactly what we do in swarm: https://github.com/swarm-game/swarm/blob/main/src/Swarm/TUI/List.hs If others are interested, we would be happy to collaborate to split this out into a separate library somehow.

Games that may fit are Screeps and Swarm (these are the two I know of, but there could be others in the same subgenre). The gameplay loop consists of you writing code to command your units who then go out to gather resources which you use to make better units and improve your base. Of course these types of games require you to do actual programming.

It's also great as a reference for PL implementors : https://github.com/swarm-game/swarm/blob/main/src/Swarm/Language/Typecheck.hs

Always happy to welcome contributors to https://github.com/byorgey/swarm (see CONTRIBUTING.md and issues tagged "low-hanging fruit" ). The needed level of expertise varies a lot from module to module, but there's a good deal that should be accessible to someone with a year of Haskell experience.

The official guide and the archwiki do say that it's okay to just install it via pacman, but I've also found some issues on the official repo that strongly suggest against installing via pacman and to use stack instead, as sometimes pacman breaks dependencies.

Especially Haskell tools often live in proximity to nix as well, e.g., pandoc or xmonad.

Hey everyone 👋 ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:

Daily, because xmonad

If the problem is as described in the reply linked below, then this isn't a fundamental issue, but just a matter of how sendMessage is written. In fact, the fix already exists in xmonad/432:2fff2a0.

There are a few other things I could mention, but there are more like side issues, and not relevant to my actual LaTeX setup. First and foremost—and thus perhaps noteworthy after all—is bibliography management with arxiv-citation (see here for more words). This is integrated very well with the XMonad window manager, which makes it even more of a joy to use.

The tl;dr is that this is a bug in steam, see https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/423

And here is my Xmonad configuration
