Rust maintainer perfectionism, or, the tragedy of Alacritty

I did not submit this to Hacker News and did not intend that this post would have high circulation but have no real problem with it being there or with it having such. I have more recent comments below. This post is from January 2020 and predates the Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) project.

I have not worked on Rust projects in quite a while, and don't know if I ever will again. I feel many crate maintainers are way too perfectionist, for example, despite all the developer hours that went into this PR, it took the effort within years to be (halfway) merged.

There's always a reason not to merge, isn't there? It would be better done with a new nightly language feature, or the function signature should have a where clause, or the documentation is not perfect. There's always a new nit to pick in the world of Ru

Angular2 + JSPM cheat sheet

First time setup

install jspm beta: npm install -g jspm@beta
set up your project: jspm init
install dependencies: jspm install angular2 reflect-metadata zone.js es6-shim

This will create a jspm_packages folder, and a config.js file.

Open the config.js file - this file manages options for the System.js loader - tweak it as appropriate

	* Using Operator Mono in Atom
	*
	* 1. Open up Atom Preferences.
	* 2. Click the “Open Config Folder” button.
	* 3. In the new window’s tree view on the left you should see a file called “styles.less”. Open that up.
	* 4. Copy and paste the CSS below into that file. As long as you have Operator Mono SSm installed you should be golden!
	* 5. Tweak away.
