New Macbook pro, need ideas and recommendations for #development languages, tools and apps, as well as #creative tools (graphics and music), currently installing the @golang @rustlang langs with @AtomEditor and #vsvode, considering @setapp as well

Winter Namm starts tomorrow. That is all. #namm2020 A new look to @Epiphone headstocks now with a NowStopComplaining headstock. Be interesting to see if @Fender brings the oomph - cool Jaguars and Jazzmasters please. And as always looking for something special from @GretschUSA
