@nixCraft NsCDE

@nixCraft Absolutely. I use it every day and it is very helpful.

@nixCraft I have set up my zsh so that a sub string (without any key prefix pressed) is sufficient and with cursor up/down only the hits remain in the history.

@nixCraft Answer: this made it possible to connect huge display screens there twenty years ago, long before your pathetic 65-inch televisions were available (you don't have to say that they were just projectors, but the children will still be amazed).

@nixCraft Sir, you are asking about the Erlang runtime environment, aren't you? ;)

On a more serious note: I had a system online on a Raspberry for 3.5 years, a good year of which with a completely defective SD card, i.e. even without a file system, and it was still running. A power failure put an end to the uptime. Not ten years, but good enough? :D

@nixCraft If you want to use it in shell scripts, have a look at their https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum project.

@nixCraft Phoenix (with the extension of LiveView), because it's a dream to do development with it and the runtime is extremly fast and reliable (did I mention the ability to build clusters already comming with the runtime?). On a low server thousands of parallel connections, and even under load responsible. To summarize: a pleasure for devs AND admins :)

@nixCraft At least a very good (artful?) example of bad structured code :)

@nixCraft It's Erlang (https://www.erlang.org) – This language together with Elixir is my absolute favorite for server programming.

@nixCraft No, a hint: functional language. Want to guess again or do you want the answer?

@nixCraft

io:format("Hello, World!~n").

@nixCraft systemd on top followed by snapd (at least the last one is easy to kick out)
