GDScript

Notes are as of Godot 4.5.1 (October 2025)

Empty string is falsy, non-empty string is truthy.

 # prints "b" only.
if "":
  print("a")
if "x":

ng new project-name-goes-here

This will create a new folder and set up an empty project there.

ng serve --open

Will serve the application and open the default web browser to it.

Pattern Matching

List and similar:

This is null safe for Items in this example. 40x Faster than using ?.Any() in a microbenchmark when Items is not null but could be empty. In cases where the list will typically be null, ?.Any() measured about 10x faster, but these are all sub-nanosecond measurements and neither has any allocations.

    public class Foo
    {
        public List<int>? Items { get; set; }

This repo contains some code snippets that I've found useful related to Ruby and Rails

These are the Homebrew packages I have used:

https://brew.sh

brew install --cask visual-studio-code
brew install --cask github
brew install --cask firefox
brew install gh
brew install docker

I like to use the following Chocolatey packages

docker-desktop
microsoft-windows-terminal
git.install
github-desktop
vscode
paint.net
