Re: [inferno-os] Digest for inferno-os@googlegroups.com - 1 update in 1 topic

[chris glur]

wily <for linux>: in the same family; is my KillerApp.
A typical new-task needs at least 3 files viewable TOGETHER:
1: man/info/help; 2: test/sample <some cmnds>; 3: the newly created script.
wily does this with minimum keyStrokes;
but did anybody get wily's <NNTP/usenet> facility working ?
== TIA

Slightly offtopic, but how often does wily crash unexpectedly in your system?
I really like wily, but I decided to give up on using it because of this.
As much as I understand, its development stalled at one point. (Kudos
to Gary Capell, Ozan Yigit et al for their work!)

Best,
Mart

...
Perhaps 100 times more than `mc` [my next most used app];
but much less than "missed words" on the new/mobile-phones
in this <Trump shit-hole> location - where the previous
telcom copper-cables have been stolen.
The HIGHER question is: "how much do the crashes reduce my
productivety compared to other problems?".
Eg. after my PC & BIGscreen were stolen, I had to use laptop/s.
So now that this laptop's kybrd became problematic, I've plugged-in
a USB-kybrd. The change-over/back to different key-locations causes
MUCH greater productivety loss than wily's crashes.
With wily, as with mc, I continually save, to minimise loss.
Losses on mc are caused by MY mistakes. So it's the <crashes> caused
by the combined, me & the rest of the system, that matters.
With wily: my productivity rate is so hi, that the crash-per-MILE is
quite low.
-------
Unfortunately "Gary Capell" is a very common-name, as I found searching
for some-one to advise me on wily's NNTP capabilities.
Now I'll try "Ozan Yigit". Do you know others?

Nice reasoning, thanks for sharing!

Sorry for double-posting -- it is also somewhat offtopic, but I did
some meaningless browsing and found a patch to wily's 'win' program:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050320070338/http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~rcbilson/win/index.html

I remember I had some issues with the original 'win'; maybe you'd find
this stuff useful.

Glad to hear of another wily fan :)
Best,

A long time ago wily was my main editor for quite a some time —
until I think I got access to acme-sac and plan9port acme (and to the real thing (plan9))…
(nowadays I seldomly use one of the acme ‘variants’ :-( )

FYI (maybe you already know): there is a dedicated wily mailing list — even though the last email on it is from 2016...: https://www.freelists.org/list/wilyfans

Regards,
Axel.
