Planes are a great coding environment because there's food, and no internet. I've often said offices should have artificial planes ("concentration without the carbon footprint!") that you can lock yourself into for flow.
The Japanese got there first, and called it kanzume (literally, "canning").

Sneak preview: available in @vscode.dev for quite some time, the next release of @springtools.bsky.social brings this to the Java editor inside of Eclipse as well: syntax highlighting for SQL / JPQL / HQL statements, SpeL expressions, and CRON expressions when using Spring annotations 🚀 😎 🥳

I’ve been running @aerynos.com for a few days now and am really impressed with it.It’s an alpha but seems incredibly stable.Running Gnome 48 with a recent stack of software including integrated Flatpak.It’s a rolling release so the latest versions of installed software seem to be available quickly.

Spent some time today converting a springboot app from Java to #kotlin. The more I use Kotlin the more I love it, but I do wish the Kotlin lsp was better.

I’ve just found this VSCode extension that allows editing integrated Java and Kotlin code in VSCode without errors.
Without this, Java does not recognise Kotlin classes in the same project.
It’s not perfect, but does resolve class not found errors.
