- Eiriksmal 10y agoI was really looking forward to that write up, as well. Unfortunately, the author must have some rule about not breaking the fourth wall. Or they avoid softballed summaries?
- kchoudhu 10y agoI think a recursive n-gate situation would be delightful. Someone should make this happen.
