Me (Chad): having to get 32GB+ of RAM to compile my memory-safe point-and-click adventure

You(virgin): being able to compile your segmentation faults with 4GB RAM

As a use-rust-for-even-the-most-basic-task elitist, I laugh.

UK layout is the GOAT. It isn’t that much different from US layout at first, but there are so many more special characters readily available. Particularly useful for multiple languages like Spanish, German, Swedish, etc.

(Neo)vim. Has everything I could ever need.

Which programming language(s) do you have in mind? Many already have built-in support for this (Go, Rust, Nim), while others have external tools you could use (Python->Poetry). Otherwise, if you want a “fast” (easy to understand) solution, a shell-script might be a fine solution.

If you want some real power, you could use the nix package manager (as already stated by other comments). It’s easy to install, but you need to learn how to use it, and with that you can easily share dev environments.

I personally don’t like anything JS related. I would simply recommend Go, but even that is not really my go-to. I found learning Nim quite entertaining, and it’s middle -ground between Pyhton and Go, which can also target JS, if you want to.
