Hah. I guess that's why I said "new to me ", heh Anyway, cool!

Yes. In another comment I proposed https://www.roc-lang.org/

I would have picked Elixir, but it's unsuitable for game dev (at least thus far) I wouldn't consider it "Rust evangelism" as much as "not C/C++/any language that makes it trivially easy to write undefined-

Same with sewing/knitting by hand.

Correct. And a great example of it.

As is usual with any language that is new to me, would love a comparison of this language, in terms of a number of commonly-valued dimensions, with other languages: speed, compare code samples of small algorithms, any notable dependencies,

I've never heard of a functional language that would allow you to initialize a value to whatever value the system memory already had in that memory location. In languages that allow nil, it would at least be nil; in languages that don&

In the arguably-unique case of Apple Silicon, I'm not sure about that. The SoC-integrated GPU and unified RAM ends up being extremely good for running LLM's locally and at low energy cost. Of course, there's the upfront cost

Loved the fact that the interactive demos were live. You could even skip the custom system prompt entirely and just have it analyze a randomized but statistically-significant portion of the corpus of your outgoing emails and their style, an

Locally-running LLM's might be good enough to do a decent enough job at this point... or soon will be.

My takeaway, speaking as someone who leans towards functional programming and immutability, is "this is yet another example of a mutability problem that could never happen in a functional context" (so, for example, this bug would

Agreed, and good job with the tooling then!

by pmarreck 2y ago
that’s fair; maybe I’ll look at it again, it certainly has a rich pedigree at this point, even if I tend to lean towards functional languages and styles

Hah, that’s REALLY cool of you that you recommended other shells along with your own!!

Nope, it isn't. Not without the comma. And especially without context.

by pmarreck 2y ago
oooh, this is good. I am bookmarking this for the future (my son is only 3.9)
767.

Well, without the comma it can be entirely plausibly framed as a nice statement, no?
768.

why would you give a kid data? (as in cell data, presumably) I guess, to be able to helicopter them from anywhere... Apple devices would still have parental controls in that case, though, I think? Cellphone companies should really step up,

So basically, if he hadn't added the comma, he'd still be at college. So he got kicked out because of an extra comma, which he added to make it even more edgy, at the cost of reducing plausible deniability to nearly zero.

I see Penlight (which is Python-flavored, but also has some functional programming constructs) https://github.com/lunarmodules/Penlight , Moses if you like functional programming https://yonaba.github.io&#x2

interesting. I've actually already written a lot of the functionality I see here as bash (and other) functions, lol (things like log, filter, debug, retry, repeat, map, fetch (a URL, with retry)... etc.). (things like: enumeration func

Same. Do you use any of them or have you stuck with any of them? Opinions?

by pmarreck 2y ago
So Awk for everything (or in my case gawk or frawk)? Or just text-processing things, where it's most suitable? (I think Awk is underrated, for sure!)

How does the startup time and execution speed of Python compare to other options? (I'm not particularly inclined to Python, unfortunately, due to the dependency issues and some personally negative opinions about its design... but I lik

I guess we should distinguish "the shell environment" (which might stay Bash) with "the shell script language" (which could be any one of a number of options, just use the right hashbang header) One that strove to do bot

I love that in Guix, Guile is used as the configuration language all the way "from the metal" (the bootloader) to the declarative environment config in userspace. I'm one of those folks that still can't do LISPs though.

Fair enough, but (speaking as a web developer), running a stack locally on Apple Silicon (especially if it has any "interesting" dependencies such as compiled Rust/C libs and whatnot) and expecting the same stack to run ident

A lot of dev tooling still expects x86_64. Example off the top of my head, Cosmopolitan will not build ARM binaries and will not compile on ARM. (But it WILL build x86_64 universal binaries that will run on Apple Silicon and macOS via Roset

+1 for shellcheck recommendation, it's fairly essential if you want to be good at Bash

I've been on a longish search for a bash replacement (or at least "extra substitute") in the realm of "more complex commandline scripting" (functions, utility scripts, etc.). Naturally, every option is a set of diff
