What are some of the more surprising projects you’ve seen people create with BBEdit? They’re not distracted by shiny things in their software tools. However, as many changes as we’ve seen, there has been a delightful constancy to our customers: They’re people who simply want to get work done. The third wave has been mostly writers and other content creators-folks who see their text not as data but as words, and who want as little as possible between them and their words. So the next wave brought in internet architects, cryptanalysts, and scientists from unexpected disciplines. As word spread, we were able to help folks understand that the internet was built with text-that you could treat text as data or you could treat it as a document. The first big change was popularity among HTML authors and web back-end developers. Our base started as Mac software developers, scientists, system administrators, and other technical users. I was inundated with floppies.īBEdit has been around for a lifetime by software standards. I had mentioned that if anyone wanted a copy on disk, they could mail a floppy and a self-addressed return envelope to me at my home.
So that’s what I did, and word started to spread pretty fast online.
I haven't tried experimenting with other sort of identifiers to see if they produce the same effect.One of Siegel’s parrots perches on his finger at the table of a local diner with a tabletop jukebox in the background.ĭevelopers, do you have an interesting story to tell? The App Store‘s editorial team would love to hear it!īack then, the way to put Mac software out in the world was to submit it to the Info-Mac Archive, an FTP repository hosted by Stanford. I tend to be pretty descriptive with my function names, so my Typescript files are slowing to a crawl. The more long function names you have, the longer and longer it takes to insert a character. The longer the function name, the longer character insertion takes. The effect vanishes when you greatly shorten the function names. Replace that long comment with lots of code, and you get the same effect. I had a few hundred lines of code and only a few end-of-line comments sprinkled about. I did quite a bit of experimenting to reduce my code to the above clip. It takes about two seconds to insert each character. Try about 500.ĭuplicate that comment line many times. The more times you duplicate this line, the slower typing gets. For example, enter this: function someVeryLongFunctionName() When installed, BBedit gets very slow entering text in files of extension '.ts'.
