Hey muchaches, I've been quietly consuming the newsletter&podcast these months...errr..years (thankslots Steve, Mariano, Ivan and all of you for the inputs+inspiration!) while slowly working on my side-project: Tofu. When thinking of this community, I always place Tofu as more of an attempt at the near-future-of-programming. It does not aim for revolution as much as many of the cool things here (booo incrementalism boo boo). Anyway, after years of working on it and using it on my own, I want to slowly start letting people in and this community is prime for me there. It is currently an experimental extension for VSCode for structurally yet fluidly editing JS & TS. If you don't have VSCode installed, you can also use it within your browser here (there should be a pop-up asking if you want to install the Tofu extension). If you do have VSCode, here's a link to the extension in the marketplace. Feedback of all kinds wanted and welcome (here or over in the GH issues)!

A small video where you edit some things and talk us through the process would be nice πŸ™‚

This sounds really interesting although I don’t really know what to expect. Would love to try!

Oh looks like I botched that link, does this one work for you @Florian Schulz? https://vscode.dev/github/Gregoor/vscode-tofu-starter
Here is a little, fairly unscripted, primer video on Tofu

Looks good, @Gregor. It's nice to see this sort of editing coming to non-Lisp languages. πŸ™‚

Thanks Jack! Yeah, Paredit almost made me go Clojure but it's just cultural-aesthetically too much of a leap for me. Out of curiosity: Are you using Paredit?

I do, although in a somewhat idiosyncratic way that leans heavily on expand/contract region.

Neat, would be curious to watch your process at some point, also for the art that falls out of it ✨

I have a video in the works that's part demonstration, part polemic πŸ™‚

Looks great! Tangent question: how did you set the macOS menubar to be wide?

Thanks @yairchu! I think it's a consequence of my macbook having a notch for the webcam, not sure if that's customizable otherwise
