Programming fonts are stuck in the past. Proportional typesetting is everywhere and
there is no reason why you can’t use it for code.

Input is a typeface for code, designed by David Jonathan Ross and released by Font Bureau.

woob is a collection of applications able to interact with websites, without requiring the user to open them in a browser. It also provides well-defined APIs to talk to websites lacking one.

Tedu wrote a terminal and an article about it. Also links two other articles of his on the topic, which I also betulized. Writing your own terminal sounds fun!

UPD: there was a third other article released later, which I didn't particularly like.

The way to improve search is not to mimic Google, but instead to build boutique search engines that index, curate, and organize things in new ways.

The author argues that many relations can be represented with hyperlinks. He is right though. A good read.

Одна из основных целей проекта - кардинальное внедрение русского языка во всю систему, включая (хотя бы частичный) перевод исходных текстов на русский язык. ЯОС может работать как приложение в окне под Linux или Windows, а также в виде обособленной операционной системы на оборудовании x86 и ARM (поддерживаются платы Zybo Z7-10 и Raspberry Pi 2). Код написан на языке Active Oberon и распространяется под лицензией BSD.

Проект выступает основой для развития идей русскоязычного программирования, повышения комфорта работы с кириллицей и русским языком, опробования на практике разных подходов к вопросам терминологии и к глубине перевода. В отличие от существующих русскоязычных языков программирования, таких как 1С, Кумир и Глагол, проект нацелен на предоставление операционной системы полностью на русском языке, в которой переведён в том числе код загрузчика, ядра, компилятора и драйверов.

Активный Оберон — база, его русский вариант должен, соответственно, быть базой.

Minimizing your keyboard layout is a slippery slope.
34-keys has been reasonably comfortable to use, for both prose and program. My palms do not move across the desk at all, as I reach for keys. I mostly write Rust and Bash, and my layout has evolved to accomodate special characters from their grammars (angled brackets and hyphens, specifically). If you are on a similar journey, I would suggest focusing on accuracy and comfort over speed. Speed comes with time.

A teacher says that one should teach programming with a programming language that was designed for that. Oberon, for example.
