Well, I'm happy that I you learnt something new here :-). Ruby is quite similar to Python, perhaps you don't even need to study too much!

You can say similar things for Bash or Python (or Perl, JS, etc): > Too many ways to do the same thing. In Bash you can use backticks, $(), and bash -c for the same thing. And also [ ], [[ ]], test. And so on. > Not packaged by defaul

> I also have a revulsion to back ticks. Yeah, I understand... But this is other language with a similar syntax for a similar functionality.

You can pipe using the backticks! Open irb and try this: `ls -l | wc -l`

Thanks for the comment! Even though I wrote this about Ruby, I must admit that I am not a specialist.

Thanks for the feedback! I need to check it because my mother language is Portuguese and my personal page was initially only in Portuguese (everything there has also a version in Portuguese if you click the Brazilian flag). Some years ago I

Well, but what you do with Bash can be also done with vanilla Ruby...

Yeah, as I mentioned, every time someone says something bad about Ruby for me, it is about Rails...

by lucasoshiro 2y ago
Yeah, it makes sense.

For both Ruby and Python most of time I use Emacs without an LSP, and it works better with Ruby than Python. I never search _exactly_ why Ruby became so less popular than Python, but I think that at least two things: - Having its popularity

Maybe this is something that we need to deal no matter what are using (perhaps except if we use sh). Alpine for example doesn't ship Bash. Mac OS ships Ruby and its Bash is quite old.

Personally, I've tried some graphical tools (e.g. magit on Emacs and the git tools on JetBrains IDEs), but still prefer CLI as I think those UIs hide too much from the user, specially in more complex repositories (e.g. repos with submo

Probably they use libgit2 instead of git. But you can use git log -L for that.

Thanks for the comment! It looks to be a very useful tip for doing after bisect on repositories where people insist to squash pull requests.

Wow, I didn't know about that. Nice to see more things about lambda calculus, I think it is the most beautiful thing in computer science, but I haven't studied it too deeply as I need to prioritize other things...

Considering that list comprehensions can be replaced by maps and filters, and they can replaced by reduces, maybe we can ever go further in that craziness and do it only using reduces!

If you don't care about line length :-P

This happens a lot here in Brazil. Some brands are so famous that they are synonyms of some products, e. g. Gillette (razor blade), Bom Bril (steel wool), Insulfim (window film) and so on. Xerox is a curious thing here. It is a so strong sy

Yeah, those are decisions that needed to be made in order to make Lua simple enough for being embedded. And I find its syntax very smart: it is not object-oriented, but using the : syntax sugar you can pretend it is (Löve does that); if you
