Same here at 82%, although I don’t think I’m seeing blues as black.

IIRC on r/rust.

It’s quite new, but I’ve been interested to try out this Rust-y syntax language that compiles to SuperCollider: https://vibelang.org/

Each to their own of course, and not arguing that the Ruby ecosystem is amazing (although I thought so in 2008), with Python’s eleventy different package managers, I wouldn’t call the ecosystem great. It’s one of the main reasons I get bummed out having to use the language. Sure there’s lots of work going on to improve that, but it’s still smattered all over the place.

Crafting interpreters is great!

That seems a bit shallow. I’ve been Rubying for 10 years and have always preferred find_all over select. select turns up in other APIs having different meanings (thinking of IO specifically); find_all tells you exactly what it’s going to do. Just my opinion, of course.

Does anyone know of ruru’s status? I’ve used it quite a bit and love it, but haven’t seen any action in the repo in a while. I also pinged the Gitter channel a few weeks ago on the topic and got no response. Its a great tool; would hate to see it die.

What exactly does “modern” mean here?

New comment by turboladen in "The art of over-engineering your side projects"

turboladen — Sat, 02 Sep 2017 06:42:21 +0000

Having done this a number of times with side projects, I can say I both agree and disagree. I've learned so much from delving down black holes: new languages, frameworks, design patterns, tools, etc.--stuff that stimulates my brain and helps me feel like I'm becoming a better engineer. ...but not realizing an idea in my head for a tool that I just want to use because I can't find it anywhere else is really annoying. I kinda hesitate to even start projects anymore because I fear I'll spend hours and hours, burn out, then end up with nothing I can use.

Been using this for a couple weeks now and dig it. The DSL feels familiar and the speed is yummy. I'd been using LALRPOP for some months; I dig it too, but just couldn't get the speed I was after from it.

I have to say that, despite working with only a few compiled languages, errors and warnings emitted from rust's compiler are far more helpful than any other I've used.

You might be thinking of GDAL.
