If it makes the code more readable, it’s worth it. I know people likely won’t read this code again. But it’s just good practice and way of conceptualizing your code imo.

I agree lol (haven’t gone through grad school yet but want to).

Edit: Well ok apparently not looking further into it. But a significant portion uses Rust (at least 10%). And it’s an ongoing process.

Isn’t firefox written in Rust? Not a functional programming language but still.

The best language for dynamic configuration is scheme. It is a very declarative dialect of LISP. It can do any scripting task one needs and the syntax is as dead simple to learn and parse as a programming language gets, just s-expressions. (3/3)

The best language for static configuration is toml. It is dead simple to learn and parse (both human and machine). Very human readable, it features comments. The only serious downside is it’s flat and there’s no nesting, and this leads to increased file size. But the simplicity is worth it. (2/3)

The best language for serializing is undoubtedly json. It is really easy to learn and parse (especially for a machine), it is a standard. The lack of comments really acts as a feature here. It insures json is only used for data and the existence of a json file communicates this. (1/3)

Typst is also quite good (arguably better than LaTeX). But LaTeX is the standard.

Should probably give Linux Mint as a user friendly suggestion. Definitely the most “it just works” no bs distro.

B. I think it enables sharing more. It computes a closure according to whatever your evaluation strategy is and this is what I’d expect.

They really ought to just make the whole first arc free at this point if they want to attract new players. Meeting your first paywall in wizard city or even the second area of Krokotopia is a really big turnoff. It’s not much gameplay to decide if you enjoy it.

comonads behave more like context. Monads should probably just be called effects. A computation where you get out more than data, it has an effect!
