Am I the only one who thinks #suckless software actually sucks ... *more*?

Of course not more than the bloated crap suckless people hate so much, but more than some other lean and simple projects that did *not* dump the concept of "runtime #configuration"? 🤔

It's amazing how much I actually enjoy reading their thoughts on philosophy and related topics about software architecture and design. I just think runtime configuration is an *essential* feature of any non-trivial software. 🤷

@ArneBab I see this convention of all-lowercase-no-punctuation naming in your #Wisp code (and in #Suckless software too, but that's an aside.) Any reason for that? Is it portability between languages? Is it the avoidance of naming flamewars? Some linguistic impression?

I often find this style confusing because word boundaries overlap and sometimes produce ambiguous words. So the challenge with this style is to kind of rhyme the terms to be the most predictable and most unique combination of words. Does that factor into the process of programming and naming?

Dang,

#suckless "tabbed" doesn't work under KDE Wayland :(

It was a great tool because I could view a bunch of PDFs one after another and they all stayed in the same window.

I tried [kiview] as an analogue of the classic MacOS X quickview, but it's pretty hacky.

I just want to be able to have one window that lets me flip between a long list of PDFs as I'm entering data from them. Argh.

I managed to move to #AwesomeWM from #dwm, after discovering that #suckless folks are a bunch of nazis.
Also, I had some stability issues that with all the C patching were hard to debug.
I gotta say dwm's workflow and defaults are just great, though, and I HAD to replicate most of it in Awesome.

It's not a minimalistic wm, it has so many features by default but such a great documentation though.

The problem is that I'm definitely not a fan of #lua, but I'll take it over nazis anytime. #linux

There isn't a new version of single-tagset patch for #suckless #dwm on the official suckless.org website. The latest version of this patch does not apply on dwm 6.2 so I made a new single-tagset diff file that can be easily patched with git apply <PATH to diff file> command.
Anyone who is interested in using this patch here is my github-repo:

github.com/mhdzli/dwm-single-t

I'll send a pull request to suckless mail base developing git system as soon as possible.
