for many months I could not access the Linux Mint website... because of this.
Show HN: Launchpick – Native macOS launcher and window switcher
https://github.com/scorredoira/launchpick
I switched from Linux to macOS a while ago and there are two things I still miss: Launching apps with parameters. On Linux you edit a .desktop file and that's it — VS Code opening a project folder, a script, whatever. On macOS there's no simple way to do this. Automator and Shortcuts feel overcomplicated for something so basic, and the paid launchers do way more than I need. Alt+Tab...

I agree. The limited expressiveness in Go also worked as an advantage because of its simplicity. Additionally, as the article mentions, the lack of lambdas made the syntax less convenient. For me, it struck a good balance before generics and other features were added.

I switched from google closure to esbuild and it is amazing how fast and well it works. It even generates smaller code in my use case (200k lines app).
Also the creator is really nice. He implemented two features I requested right away, which surprised me a lot. What a great project!

The more you pollute, the richer you get. I can't understand why nobody talks about this.
