There’s always a feature or something in the syntax of a programming language that annoys me.
Don’t get me started on the documentation and installation steps. I want a simple language that I can install like any other application.
I’m working on own programming language for this reason 🥳

“I don’t know enough about the subject of Palestine” is not an excuse for not speaking up anymore. It is not. We’ve been flooded with information about Palestine for two years now. If you still don’t know, it’s because you don’t want to know. That makes you a coward in my book.

I want you all to understand that every time a politician calls for a release of the hostages and does not mention the MANY Palestinian hostages in Israel, they are making it clear they only value some lives — those adjacent to power, those it is politically safe to defend.
