Are there any IDEs/editor plugins that show GitHub comments on commits? Online discussion of code is useful and should be accessible.

The GT Spotter is a fantastic demonstration of Smalltalk. E.g. extending your IDE tools to handle an address book! http://t.co/zJqKDMYsEh

It's really exciting to see Clojurescript is bootstrapping and enabling new REPL possibilities: http://t.co/NqYuXH4Qp9

Company is wonderful for Emacs completion.Its API (often just setting company-backends) is great for tuning completion sources per language.

Does @pharoproject rhyme with 'sparrow' or is it pronounced 'pharoah'?

Great demo video of development with Pharo Smalltalk: https://youtu.be/HOuZyOKa91o (Smalltalk is unusual, videos are the best way to get started)

I'm beginning to think it's impossible to create a window manager with overlapping at least a few useful Emacs shortcuts.

You cannot and should not separate languages from their tool ecosystems. Tooling in static/dynamic/image languages: http://t.co/EgK8VxWqHN

Spent a while trying to abstract a 'pairwise map fn' before realising I'd reinvented fold. At least it's easy to spot familiar abstractions.

Deeply impressed by the SVN-git mirroring tool: http://t.co/rQjAO2lLU0 It works really well, and its support team are actual devs!

Statically typed OO languages with curly brace syntax are the 4 chord song of language design. Push the boundaries and explore!

Magit 2.1 is out! https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magit/magit/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.1.0.txt (@magit_emacs is the gold standard for great Emacs integration of tools)

It's exciting to see proposals for a Java REPL! http://t.co/m8825nuZTh Feels like Java development has really picked up in the last 2 years.

Demonstrating that tail-calls can be viewed as just goto statements (using Common Lisp) http://t.co/uyrkT44Ouk
