2026-04-14 16:01:15 +0000 <janus> yeah sorry
2026-04-14 16:01:03 +0000gentauroperhaps this is for #haskell-offtopic?
2026-04-14 16:00:46 +0000 <gentauro> janus: this is my access to programming -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Amstrad_CPC464.jpg
2026-04-14 16:00:24 +0000 <janus> gentauro: i've seen your screenshots, they often have green text on a black background
2026-04-14 16:00:06 +0000 <janus> is that how it looked when you got into programming? genuine question.
2026-04-14 16:00:05 +0000 <gentauro> janus: huh?
2026-04-14 15:59:51 +0000 <janus> gentauro: what's the story behind your green-on-black terminal colors without syntax highlighting?
2026-04-14 15:59:01 +0000 <gentauro> janus: I haven't used Windows in ages, but I have made .NET projects (all from NixOS + Xmonad + Emacs)
2026-04-14 15:58:07 +0000 <janus> i know microsoft supports ansi now. they've given up. i refuse to let them
2026-04-14 15:57:52 +0000redshuffle(~quassel@45.43.70.75)
2026-04-14 15:57:49 +0000 <janus> i've heard that it has advantages, like no in-band signalling like ANSI codes
2026-04-14 15:57:45 +0000redshuffle(~quassel@45.43.70.75) (Remote host closed the connection)
2026-04-14 15:57:19 +0000 <janus> ooh, maybe that is a good idea for WeirdUI! embrace the Windows terminal API! hahaha
2026-04-14 15:57:10 +0000 <Milan_Vanca> janus: Sadly not enough ppl.. .NET is amazing... Imagine GHC to work only on macOS?
2026-04-14 15:57:09 +0000gentaurowished we had that for Haskell :'(
2026-04-14 15:56:37 +0000 <gentauro> janus: the "only" good UI ever to come out of Microsoft -> https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui (made by Miguel de Icaza) ;)

2026-04-14 15:56:02 +0000 <janus> it's what makes me happy

2026-04-14 15:55:51 +0000 <janus> i know i am anachronistic
2026-04-14 15:55:38 +0000gentaurobtw, I know janus IRL xD
2026-04-14 15:55:23 +0000 <gentauro> janus: a company from the past? What do you know that we dont? Tell us :o
2026-04-14 15:55:10 +0000 <janus> gentauro: the fact that microsoft has 5 UI frameworks for windows, which will be supported into eternity, but they don't even support one on linux, shows you that they are not serious about linux
2026-04-14 15:54:09 +0000 <int-e> janus: build with bricks
2026-04-14 15:54:08 +0000 <janus> yeah yeah i know. now we're talking about present day microsoft again. a paas company
2026-04-14 15:53:44 +0000 <gentauro> janus: ehhhh, you know that 99% of everything running on Azure is Linux right? Right?
2026-04-14 15:53:43 +0000 <janus> if i have to rely on big-tech, i want it to be supported for the next 30 years
2026-04-14 15:53:19 +0000 <gentauro> so now `dotnet` is .NET Core, while .NET Framework is "legacy" (and actually not supported anymore, but, too many orgs are still using it)
2026-04-14 15:53:07 +0000 <janus> gentauro: but who is caring for .NET on linux? i don't think anyone is sufficiently incentivized
2026-04-14 15:52:44 +0000polykernel_(~polykerne@user/polykernel) polykernel
2026-04-14 15:52:38 +0000 <gentauro> janus: you need .NET core so you can develop from Linux :P (Windows.Forms and other garbage from the Framework doesn't work on Linux)
2026-04-14 15:51:43 +0000 <duste3> I created it by hand
2026-04-14 15:51:33 +0000 <duste3> comerijn: yes I have dependencies on gitlab

2026-04-14 15:47:58 +0000 <gentauro> janus: I've been doing some testing on Native F# combined with UoM and low-level. Rust is in shambles (I will firstly use ANY language that has ML-family syntax with enforced scope indentation)
2026-04-14 15:46:42 +0000 <gentauro> comerijn: ditto
2026-04-14 15:46:17 +0000 <gentauro> __monty__: no, but you can write typed <@@ … @@> and untyped <@ … @> very easily in F#
2026-04-14 15:45:32 +0000 <gentauro> [exa]: you are at Kent Uni?

2026-04-14 15:31:40 +0000 <Milan_Vanca> I just manually created file cabal.project and that is all
