It’s a burrito

I never saw such a potent combination of gender politics and prolog

I remember Linus saying in an interview that he’d only really been involved in git for the first 6 months or so and that the other devs had managed it without him since then. This makes sense - Linus’s creations aren’t successful because he’s the only person who understands them, they’re successful because there are so many other collaborators on them.

Hey, there are two rust ones, check yerself. But the Gopher logo is pretty well known around these parts

Well Grails didn’t stick around for long, but Gradle was only available with Groovy for many years before they added Kotlin support.

Nobody’s assuming Groovy these days then 😂

'spose that’s true enough

This is why I like strong type systems with exhaustivity checks

Apparently they can’t read their own survey results because DevEx is clearly the highest paid category there but they think it’s SRE and cloud

I know you’re playing the straight man to a joke, but actually you can apply a linter, then tell GitHub to ignore the implied ownership history for the purposes of blame from that reclining pr. All such prs are massive and yet by virtue of the replayability of the linter it’s also very easy to ensure errors didn’t slip in when reviewing.

I know the original comment was about renaming all the variables, but that’s obviously deliberately absurd, so I’m using here a completely realistic example instead.

Yeah but I bet you do it sometimes on your own pull requests even after you’ve opened them don’t you?

Plenty of my real friends are people I used to work with back before I was married and stopped getting as much out of this sort of culture… There doesn’t need to be some hard line here - just because you work with people doesn’t mean you can’t be friends

Ah cool. Well I guess I’d better back myself then. I’ll take a look at a few and tell you what I like…

Yes, loads; but without knowing what kinda stuff you want to learn to do, I wouldn’t recommend anything in particular

Edit: might as well give some ideas though… Some libraries such as http frameworks will have some examples projects that use it, sometimes even in the core repo under ./examples or something. There are lots of small personal projects from random GitHub users that you can stumble across. Many useful and well written libraries are small enough to be approachable. But which of those to recommend depends on what you want to do with your code.

Code as given can be made valid in scala I believe. My starter was based on that assumption. I think raku can do it too, but you would probably have to \x = $ to make it work…

Edit: misread your comment slightly, CBA to change mine now. It is what it is

I could’ve used a lot of things, but I’m on my phone and I wanted fewer characters to render it, whilst being sure it would work without having to run it.

Also, I am pleased to have maybe helped. Perhaps we can be friends, you and I. Perhaps not. Idk, maybe you punch dogs, why would you do that? Seems mean.

Have you ever just, like, edited a comment? How do people know when you did it? I guess if I were writing a thing to check it I’d use a registry of timestamps and checksums… So, like, ok, you can track, but why, how does it look?

Anyway sorry I had some drinks between now and first post, goodnight

Implicit was too much of a give away wasn’t it?

They missed out the context code:

trait DoW { def length: FiniteDuration }
object Monday extends DoW { override def length = 24.hours }
...
implicit def toDoW(s: String): DoW = s match {
 case "Monday" => Monday
...
}
var day: DoW = _

(Duration formatting and language identification are left as an exercise for the reader)

Well l take your point, but here I took ‘programming language’ in the colloquial sense to mean ‘language used for programming’ whereas you seem to have read it as ‘turing-complete language’; neither is fully justifiable since there’s ambiguity, but given that it’s a crossword I think that’s fine and all part of the game.
