The obvious answer is emacs, but it is so much more powerful than micro that it's probably not what you're looking for... maybe kate-editor.org ?

... in the sense that it just translates Julia to gnuplot. The package ends up being simpler, more robust, but with syntax that can express most of gnuplot's features.

There is a brief changelog here: github.com/mbaz/Gaston....

Why the change in API? The main reason is that v1.x was not able to take advantage of many of gnuplot's capabilities. It tried to be too smart and ended up being inflexible. The API is v2 is "dumber"...

I've one terminal dedicated to newsboat. From time to time I open it, refresh the feeds, and see what's interesting. If there's something I want to read, I open it in Firefox (just press `o`). I like that it is super fast and light, can store the feeds locally, and only refreshes when I want.

I don't buy it. The difference between assembler and C++ is much smaller than that between C++ and LLMs -- at least the LLMs as they are marketed.
