is simple and command line friendly (AKA amenable to grep/sort/awk
).
Some features that stood out to me:
- tags that can have values
[ ] do the thing #tag=values
- tasks that can span multiple lines
[ ] this is a task
that spans multiple lines
- syntax for due dates
[ ] this task is due -> 2022-09-01
Plaintext todos do seem to be the sort of thing that is under constant re-invention, see [todo.txt formats](https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt), [taskpaper](https://guide.taskpaper.com/why-taskpaper/), and [Taskwarrior - Command Line Syntax](https://taskwarrior.org/docs/syntax/) just to name a few. This is probably because organizing tasks is like organizing knowledge - something highly personal to the person doing it.
This is also why task management tools span an enormous range in complexity - from the minimalist todo.txt
to extravagant feature buffets that is [jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira).
At the end of the day, the best system is going to be the one that you can stick to. What is your system for todos?johndendron29

language talks about its origins and why a language that was designed by C++ programmers to replace C++ programmers does not actually attract C++ programmers.
> The answer can be summarized like this: Do you think less is more, or less is less?
For the go authors, less is more. By removing various power features of C++ that were also overly complicated, it made the go language both easier to use and ultimately more capable as a consequence.
An irony is that the author explicitly talks about composition over inheritance as the tradeoff that go
made to simplify the language. This is the exact opposite tradeoff that we made at Dendron, favoring inheritance (aka hierarchies) over composition (aka tags).
Even if the technical details took opposite turns, we made the decision to focus on hierarchies precisely because it would simplify the retrieval process. Tags made it possible for any note to be categorized as anything. Having a canonical hierarchy limited people to having one canonical place for a note but its precisely this limitation that makes Dendron scale for large knowledge bases.johndendron29
