@djsundog honestly even just like

custom columns based on extended file attributes

i can write a script to set those myself if needbe just let me sort over them please

@alexandra scheme or relatives is a good choice however…

my personal opinion is that while functional programming concepts are good and extremely useful, they are good and useful only for a subset of problems that one might encounter when writing a program…

and more generalist languages have enough support for functional programming these days that they’re generally more pleasant to work with (unless your problems happen to be exclusively those that functional programming is good at).

definitely if your interest is just in transforming data, learn XSLT or Scheme!

otherwise, if you’re already familiar with Javascript, i’d recommend just doing functional stuff in Javascript+Deno… the caveat here is that the JS community is a mess, and it can be hard to get off on the right foot if you don’t already understand the language.

Swift is a very good programming language for functional programming in my experience. it’s probably my favourite language right now in general, although perhaps less because of its strengths and more because of the failings of the rest of them 😝.

NPC dialogue trees be like

• (if the Player is female) Say something sexist

you’re allowed to hate everything if you just get the balances right

i hate work i just hate not-work more

@Rob_T_Firefly one option is “ser”, which is stolen from Dragon Age (/ other fantasy fiction?) but look it’s a really good word

if you don't need a direct analogue for sir/ma’am specifically, “mixter” (from Mx) has been used as an analogue for mister/missus and could fill that role

@djsundog ugh this would be extremely useful to me

i fuckin hate my poetic voice

i wish i knew literally any writers tackling the same sorts of problems i am

that’s right, kiddos, to quote the H·T·M·L Standard :—

very interestingly, Safari’s X·M·L processor moves comments present in the internal subset of the D·T·D out of the DOCTYPE and places them just before the root element

i would like to say this is non‐standard behaviour, but there actually ⁜is⁜ no standard regarding taking an X·M·L document and parsing it into the D·O·M

ye mighty, whomst think thyselves tall

look upon my works, and weep

; {
const re = /fails/uy
re.lastIndex = "this test ".length
"this test fails".replace(re, "succeeds")
}

okay great my code works there’s just a bug in safari regular expressions

@SportsGoblin maybe umpires are like yoshi and can only say their names and a small selection of onomatopoeia
