As I dive deeper into the world of the Internet, with a general map of the terrain, I find that JavaScript is quite important plus the fact that there are so many dedicated libraries for it and JavaScript being somewhat of a shapeshifter when it comes to adapting to changes makes me certain that this is another language that I need to be at home with.
On my Ubuntu Desktop I have done two major changes regarding my ToolKit
> Using ZSH instead of the default BASH - Zsh has the reputation of being the Programmer's shell plus I am just so affected by all the enthusiasm it builds up. Look up oh-my-zsh on GitHub and it's main web-page Oh My Zsh. I rarely use the shell, apart from changing permissions of the directories and just renaming stuff - stuff which can easily be done using Python. But, if there's any shell that makes by feel exited and joyful, it's Zsh. I'll much rather invests my time doing what "feels" right. Always listen to your instincts - Mine have Always led me right.
> I have explored GitHub's Atom and I like what I see, especially the kind of momentum and excitement it has managed to generate. My instincts tell me it's gonna be Huge, just like Julia. The shift to this Text Editor ( for all Web-related work) was triggered by the fact that I wasn't really able to get the JavaScript NodeJS platform working on my Machine. So, I explored a bit and found that Atom is itself built specifically for the Web-developers, plus it's entire birth cycle has proceeded with such a blazingly fast speed that I know it's gonna be irresistible in future.
What about Emacs, you ask?
I think that, there is much Code-Reading involved in my future so I might as well be comfortable with a couple of Text Editors. The three Text Editors that make all the sense in the Coding world to me are
> Emacs
> Atom
> Notepad++
These are arranged with decreasing level of complexity. As far as Emacs is concerned, well if Notepad++ is a handy knife, Atom being a good Swiss Knife - Emacs is the Cook;P
And there is this wonderful relationship between the Web-Technologies ( JavaScript driven ) that quite resembles the relationship between Elisp and Emacs - Quite a Harmony;P
I love the fact that I can type in multiple languages within Emacs ( say Japanese or French ) and even play the game of Go in Emacs. Emacs and I - the world is a better place for me.
