I currently use Arch Linux with KDE Plasma desktop as my daily driver. For
editing code I use Zed and Neovim. I also have a server running NixOS, it's the

**Q. Why do you use Neovim?**
**Q. Why do you use Arch Linux?**
Neovim feels simple and to the point, imagine something between Notepad++ and
VS Code, but awesome. I don't want to use Emacs, because I'm not really a fan
of lisps, and it seems like way too much for my taste.
In the past I used Windows, and GNU/Linux distros like Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian
Arch Linux or NixOS. Throughout the years I came to a realization that Arch
Linux works for me. I enjoy the rolling release model and having everything up
to date. NixOS is interesting, but I don't really feel like I benefit from it
enough, so it's an overkill.
**Q. Why do you use Zed?**
I've used to use just Neovim, but then I moved to Zed, because it has more
features out of the box, a proper plugin system and first class support for Vim
bindings. I still use Neovim for some tasks, Zed is really nice to use as an
IDE, while Neovim feels like a really nice notepad for quick edits in terminal.
I don't feel like using Emacs, because I'm not really a fan of lisps, and it
seems like way too much for my taste.

community really shows how useful type classes can be even without HKTs.
And to sum up, I feel like going with Rust was the pragmatic choice here, I
could have gone with some other language, and the solition might have been more

ended up learning a lot in the process. It's always worth noting that the choice
of a language is always a lot more than just the language, you also end up
choosing the ecosystem of libraries, and the build tools used to build projects
in that language. I feel like Rust's world is a joy to work with.
