wait how on earth do non-ascii keyboards work

∗u-nicode-input 😔​

(uinput does not support unicode)

i appreciate helix's codebase for being so sane and well-thought out, it makes it easier for me to make some insane and not at all well-thought out changes

just a little-cost abstraction

as a treat

awawawa

you know, working with java 19 has been surprisingly pleasant - switch expressions and pattern matching eliminate multiple former footguns with the language, and there are at least some language features for dealing with null even if they're not widely used and somewhat clunky

and verbosity is really more so a codebase problem than the language itself (though java doesn't help either)

...but then every so often i run into some design decision that clearly has its roots dug deep in Old Java: like the .clone() method returning an Object that you have to explicitly cast to the proper type

and i'm just like ah yes this is the language i grew up on

cannot get over how god damn cute wugs are

i'm like. close with vocabulary? but need much more practice with grammar

goal for winter break: become fluent in toki pona
