[2026-06-05T15:55:55Z] <midfavila> interesting article at first glance
[2026-06-05T15:56:10Z] <midfavila> ilt: you might find it particularly interesting since i know you used to tinker with libmrsh
[2026-06-05T15:57:51Z] <midfavila> i would *love* to hack on mrsh and co... maybe once my setup is properly configured again
[2026-06-05T16:00:57Z] <midfavila> there will come a day when libmrsh is suitable as /bin/sh...
[2026-06-05T16:22:35Z] <midfavila> be nice to have a little tmt-based terminal emulator, too... 
[2026-06-05T16:23:21Z] <midfavila> i really like the idea of separating a programme into a library  and a frontend that basically just sits on top of that
[2026-06-05T16:25:17Z] <midfavila> program even fuck 
[2026-06-05T16:25:20Z] <midfavila> i can't grammar 
[2026-06-05T16:25:25Z] * midfavila headdesks
[2026-06-05T16:31:22Z] <ilt> mid
[2026-06-05T16:31:30Z] <ilt> why cool stuff is always written in obscure languages?
[2026-06-05T16:31:33Z] <midfavila> ilt
[2026-06-05T16:31:39Z] <midfavila> because autism i would assume
[2026-06-05T16:31:41Z] <midfavila> unironically
[2026-06-05T16:31:53Z] <midfavila> you either get >C and >shell or like
[2026-06-05T16:31:54Z] <midfavila> >crystal
[2026-06-05T16:32:03Z] <ilt> or OCAML
[2026-06-05T16:32:06Z] <midfavila> because it's someone's special interest and then it ends up being used by other people
[2026-06-05T16:32:12Z] <midfavila> and then people have to adopt it
[2026-06-05T16:32:15Z] <midfavila> or nim
[2026-06-05T16:32:29Z] <midfavila> istg the only time i've seen people use nim is in obscure little hobby projects
[2026-06-05T16:33:08Z] <midfavila> you know what, i think i would like to learn just enough webdev to contribute to projects like invidious, even if it means learning niche languages like crystal
[2026-06-05T16:33:23Z] <midfavila> spend all day doing webdev shit to avoid having to use the web 
[2026-06-05T16:33:47Z] <midfavila> anyway yeah i figured you would like that
[2026-06-05T16:34:33Z] <midfavila> i would assume that that uses ocaml for the same reason shellcheck uses haskell tho
[2026-06-05T16:35:13Z] <ilt> one day i tried to bootstrap haskell
[2026-06-05T16:35:15Z] <midfavila> i recall that in "the little prover", ocaml is used to demonstrate logic programming in lisp 
[2026-06-05T16:35:17Z] <ilt> shouldn't even try
[2026-06-05T16:35:22Z] <ilt> worse than rust
[2026-06-05T16:35:52Z] <midfavila> rip
[2026-06-05T16:36:01Z] <ilt> i recall dylan was struggling with it too
[2026-06-05T16:36:12Z] <ilt> hence we have shellcheck-BIN
[2026-06-05T16:36:26Z] <midfavila> fair enough :v
[2026-06-05T16:36:32Z] <midfavila> do you still daily kiss, ilt?
[2026-06-05T16:37:10Z] <ilt> I do, although I'm currently working on my own distro
[2026-06-05T16:38:19Z] <ilt> https://envs.net/~ilt/fk_google.jpg
[2026-06-05T16:41:13Z] <ilt> it is fucking happening
[2026-06-05T16:41:27Z] <ilt> i'm literally unable to access website
[2026-06-05T16:41:45Z] <ilt> fucking great
