Because when your project reaches the 10k lines mark, you want something telling you "Woops, that function you declared only accepts numbers as the first parameter" and there's nothing preventing lua to have minimal compile t

I do think you're better off using ruby, but if you insist. Lots of default functionality missing so you MUST have these packages: inspect, luaposix, lrexlib-pcre, lrexlib-posix, lpeg, luastd/stdlib, luasocket, luahttp, luasec, lu

Isn't this a bug of the software and not of the technology? refetching terminfo capabilities seems an easy fix, you also get sigwinched which I imagine happens on a new terminal. Mind you, I don't use abduco but do use dtach somet

If you're worried about security, A less than 10k lines of SOC is your aim. mtm, abduco, dvtm achieve this. screen? Impossible for it to ever be secure. You'll be playing an endless game of whack-a-mole.

From what I remember, Go started out because a C++ application took 30 minutes compiling even though they were using google infrastructure, you could say that they set out to create a systems programming language (they certainly thought so)

CSV is also a display format for humans and also for computers. Its also a terrible one because its too variable FS is variable, escapes could exist, "" could be used, this slows down parsing.

For starters, It's not really a linux thing, Xorg runs everywhere, from BSDs to even windows. Secondly, XDG is a much better standard than FHS and actually supports normal users, needing to be root to install a random application is a

BEGIN and END are still bulky, Even C got it wrong by making () mandatory instead of {}, which is something go fixed.

The thread makes me worried for a different reason, especially how many avoid reading the RFC and even saying that the RFC doesn't matter, that there's no standard for csv. maybe there should be an extension for rfc-csv.

Using <tab> makes it not csv but tsv. Honestly if there is no comma to separate the values, then its not csv maybe Csv for character separate values or asv for anything separates values but you're right, this makes it hard how ev

This is simply not true, parsing json v csv is a difference of thousands of lines.

It's tricky, but simple enough, RFC states that " must be used, inserting a " is done with "". This makes knowing what a record is difficult, since you must keep a variable that keeps the entire string. How do you d

I suppose its the evolution of destroying everything that the previous generation likes in an effort to prove wrongdoing and their own modern superiority. It's why OK Boomer is an insult. But what do I know.

Well he didn't really call cvs/subversion broken, to semi quote, he basically said that subversion people were trying to improve on cvs and you cannot do that because cvs is inherently broken. Its not damning to call something bro
