I'm happy to report that my port of the #Catppuccin themes for #Emacs is now available on MELPA (under the name batppuccin, as there's also the "official" port under the catppuccin name)
https://melpa.org/#/batppuccin
I hope you'll like it!

I've reworked (and extended) neocaml's huge README into a nice documentation site, powered by MkDocs and Material. Check out https://neocaml.org/ and let me know if you like it and if you feel that something needs to be improved there.

One of the biggest problems with Tree-sitter in editors are the constant changes that break something
Here's a discussion about how some changes in version 0.26 broke #Emacs tree-sitter support https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/issues/4968

Seems I've missed some #neovim drama…
As an aside - probably it'd best to bundle tree-sitter queries with the file plugins for the various file types instead of having all of them in a single plugin. (but I assume there are some historical reasons for the current state of affairs)

@pointlessone@status.pointless.one I get your point, but I just think at some point it becomes pointless to just re-heat the same dish. That's not a problem specific to Predator, though - most of the movie franchises are like that. E.g. in Alien movies the computers and the interiors of the ships look the same they did in 1979, which I find laughable at times.

@pointlessone@status.pointless.one I haven't seen Badlands, but I think Prey was pretty derivative as far as sequels go. It wasn't bad, though, just more of the same.
I didn't like much Alien: Romulus. It was so forgettable that I barely remember it by now.

We often criticize other people for not learning from their mistakes, but I'm the type of person who still watches every new Alien and Predator installment, knowing full well they'll be shit. Just like all the installments after Aliens and Predator II.

@Ardubal I don’t think this is as clear cut as you portray it to be. I understand very well how LLMs work and what are the caveats related to their usage, and this doesn't change the fact you can leverage them to produce useful (and good quality code). AI is still just a tool, and the outcomes depend vastly on how you're using the tool. I agree that AI agents can't innovate, but in practice for most tasks you don't really need to innovate anyways.
But I don't really want to discuss AI's role in programming, but the role of Emacs and vim in a world that's increasingly dominated by AI-assisted coding.

@Ardubal I get your point, but how is this related to power editors like Emacs/Vim? The point of my article is the future of programming and its relationship to the future of editors used primarily for programming. Perhaps that wasn't clear, though.

I jotted down some thoughts on the future of editors like #Emacs and #Vim in the age of AI https://batsov.com/articles/2026/03/09/emacs-and-vim-in-the-age-of-ai/
I'd be very curious to hear your thoughts on the subject as well.

That’s one of the best articles on the potential issues with relying too much on #AI / #LLMs for programming https://blog.fogus.me/meta/LLMe.html
The #Clojure community has always been fascinating with its depth and thoughtfulness!
