Comment on What operating system and tools should a beginner use to learn programming?
Ashiette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months agoI started using vim to learn rust. It’s awfully powerful and I fully understand the hype.
However when I started to program, vim was NOT a good option to learn. Because you have to learn how to code and how to use the coding tool at the same time. It can be too much to take in.

Yeah, I understand that. I myself stayed an emacs user up to today because it was easier to get into it (the rabbit hole starts tumbling down some time later with emacs). But in these days eclipse was the shiny new star of IDE (cringe). However, when you face tolling out somestuff or setting up your own first services, the afternoon needed to get basic grasp of vim is well spend.
