The Most Elegant Configuration Language

chshersh.com/blog/2025-01-06-the-most-elegant-configuration-language.html

This article made me very angry. It's written very misleadingly, it's full of lies. The proposed language offers too much decisions to the config designer (all of the decisions that matter, actually). Nevertheless, there are some ideas I want to mention here:

  • Not having primitive types beside strings is good. I'd also keep lists and dictionaries (not the way they made it, but the way it should be). Numbers, dates, booleans, all of this is a mess.

  • So, empty config or no config file at all must be a valid configuration.

And it's kinda neat how they find connections between category theory and configuration languages.

Tedu released his fifth or so fediverse server. This time featuring migrateable user identities and Java Script-heavy interface, which is actually fast because he doesn't know React.

Where does he get the time and energy? So prolific

Refurb weekend: Canon Cat

oldvcr.blogspot.com/2024/05/refurb-weekend-canon-cat.html

A look into the history of Canon Cat, deeper than most, and then a demonstration of hardware maintenance. I didn't care much about the second part, but the first part interested me. For example, I didn't know about SwyftCard before!

КИТАЙСКИЕ СТИХИ, ДЗЭН И ЧАЙНАЯ КОМНАТА

t.me/HaikuDaily/1491

Как же японцы читают китайские стихи? По-китайски? Самое интересное, что нет.

Японцы читают, конечно же, по-японски - переставляя слова согласно японской грамматике и добавляя японские окончания, которые пишут азбукой. Если китайский текст длинный, то сбоку приписывают специальные символы, которые подсказывают, в каком порядке нужно читать иероглифы по-японски.

Go is a great programming language

drewdevault.com/2021/04/02/Go-is-a-great-language.html

Perhaps the matter I most appreciate Go for is its long-term commitment to simplicity, stability, and robustness. I prize these traits more strongly than any other object of software design. The Go team works with an ethos of careful restraint, with each feature given deliberate consideration towards identifying the simplest and most complete solution, and they carefully constrain the scope of their implementations to closely fit those solutions. The areas where Go has failed in this regard are frightfully scarce.
