Tons of useful rust APIs are being stabilised in 1.4! https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/28339

Fascinating discussion of the different programming paradigms explored during the development of Eve: https://github.com/witheve/Eve/blob/master/design/visualProgramming.md
Emacs package of the day: ido-vertical https://github.com/creichert/ido-vertical-mode.el The minibuffer is too small -- a bigger display helps find things faster!
.@sanityinc I remember you saying that you only use helm for a few things -- what's your completion tool of choice?
"Rather than optimise the first few hours[..]Emacs makes the subsequent years as productive as possible" Demystified http://t.co/wIb5Aa1G7A
I think Discourse beats mailing lists in many circumstances. It's not yet well suited for sharing patches, but I'm hopeful for the future.
Still trying to find that sweet-spot for modal editing in an idiomatic Emacs way. I'm really excited about modalka: https://github.com/Wilfred/.emacs.d/blob/gh-pages/user-lisp/modalka-customisations.el
Emacs command of the day: sp-rewrap-pair (part of the must-have smartparens package). It lets you go from foo(bar) to foo[bar] effortlessly.
Writing a correct, robust and performant code formatter is really hard. A fantastic post from dartfmt's maintainer: http://t.co/zVnQxAEa27
Fantastic practical example of lisp macros, complete with examples of expansion: http://t.co/7jPdFgDPWQ
Advanced keyboard macros in Emacs: http://t.co/eGO0nHDtox (discusses counters and formatting)
A short history of live programming: https://youtu.be/L4FLWSt9Px4 great demos of Smalltalk and Newspeak by Gilad Bracha, the creator of Newspeak.
It is wonderful to see that iojs and node have merged and node v4.0 combines the hard work of both: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.0.0/
Exciting to see that the Go team is looking at an interpreter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hvxf6NMPaCUd-1iqm_968SuHN1Vf8dLZQyHjvPyVE0Q/mobilebasic REPLs are a huge boon to learning new APIs or syntax.
Lots of great new features in clang 3.7! http://t.co/d2qJ9oQStj Some of the new macro warnings are particularly nice.
How many popular Emacs packages don't require any customisation to taste? Perhaps great functionality is easier than perfect settings.
Sometimes I follow both A and B, A tweets some amazing but I don't see it until B retweets it. Merely sorting tweets by time is suboptimal.
VMs are a great way of experimenting with broken systems. What happens if you kill the init process? What if you unmount the root FS?
I really struggle to keep my git commit summaries to the recommended 50 chars. Under 80 is always doable though.
cargo-check https://github.com/rsolomo/cargo-check is excellent for improving the Rust iteration cycle. If you just want a compiler check, it's very fast.
