   Due to the embedded nature of Lua, it’s often impossible or difficult to use libraries. And I don’t want to reimplement basic functionality every time I start a new project.

   Alright, here is Janet, which is designed to be embeddable just like Lua: (set enemies (filter |($ :alive) enemies)) Though JavaScript has QuickJS, which is also lightweight.

   In many aspects, Lua is more verbose and awkward than other similar languages. Compare local alive_enemies = {} for _, enemy in ipairs(enemies) do if not enemy.dead then table.insert(alive_enemies, enemy) end end ene

   If the LLM is intelligent, why can’t it figure out on its own that it needs to write a program?

    So now you have to distribute a character class table in every implementation of your language, which is precisely what the author of Djot wanted to avoid.

    If I’m understanding correctly, your rules are based on word boundaries? How do you define a word boundary?

    Being a strict subset of Markdown would make it itpossible to achieve simplicity. From the rationale: > Rules for emphasis should be simpler. The fact that doubled characters are used for strong emphasis in commonmark leads to many poten

    > Mark down is great because it doesn't define a bunch of things. Headline? Its a headline, no font, no sizing, no colors... Just a headline. It means that it can be displayed on any device, printed on any paper, work with any acces

    Doesn’t that require a different e-mail service, which defeats the point of using Posteo?

    I don’t like WYSIWYG editing, as it makes the formatting invisible.

    A good programmer can write in 100 lines what Claude will write in 1000, so this is not a fair comparison. Less is more.

    For me, Markdown produces a lot of unnecessary cognitive load compared to other markup languages. • I have to decide whether to use asterisks or underscores for bold and italic. • I have to decide whether to use asterisks, hyphen-minuses, o

    You are assuming that people only write software to sell it to someone. Most software I write is either for myself or for an academic project, and in both cases, code sualita definitely matters.

    No it doesn’t. You will now have to follow a lengthy process before being allowed to install apps from F-Droid.
