actually glanced over the blog post. so this is inspired by ytt, which is pretty cool.
However, I am not totally sure that the use of exclamation mark and question mark to start expressions makes it any more readable than embedding code inside comments.
Also not sure what a "single source for template values" means , since in ytt you can have multiple input sources
Yes, I liked the idea of ytt and after playing a bit, I felt that we could do YAML processing in some more YAML-native way.
YTT fulfills its mission, but I wanted to explore a more generic approach and have the loading of libs and values using the same mechanism. Also, allowing the reusable parts to be written in YAML and not only in the additional programming language.
I aim at bringing some ideas in this area and if they make sense, I am happy to see them live, be it in Yglu, YTT or any other tool.
Also, the fact that building Yglu was fast because of YAML parser and YAQL were already existing made me explore on my own, rather than developing these ideas in modifying or coding YTT libs, what I first imagined.
About the readability, I also don't see an argument here. !? vs. #@ does not matter a lot. It only matters that !? is already understood by the YAML parser as a tag, avoiding me to write a parser (I would not have started this work). The cool thing is that tags can also be used in mapping keys.
I will rephrase the "single source for template values" into something that gives better credit, because I really meant that import mechanisms should be the same for values and other stuff (libs, functions, ...). And aslo not only as overlay.
Thanks for the inspiration and let's continue to try and relieve the YAML pain around us.
I would advocate for rubber tires despite the discomfort. the moment you get a flat tire is pretty much the end of your scooter's lifetime as it is very difficult to fix it.
I like Glion for its design and ease of carrying, but Segway wins in every other aspect. Depends on your budget. If you are willing to spend a grand or more then Mercane WideWheel probably tops the market right now.
The title is misleading. the OP tried well "most" of the "rental" e-scooters available in his geo-location.
I was hoping for a comparison of the brands.
On the Scooter vs Bike discussion, my GF and I discussed the idea of getting bikes or scooters to commute to work and I gotta tell ya, scooters won by a huge margin. Biggest benefit is that they are smaller in size. we can roll them up in a closet, take them into the transit, and heck even put them in the trunk of an uber car when needed. we dont need to to pay for bike room fees and most cases can take them up to the office and store them under our desks.
the one point that I totally agree with is that scooter riders in this mixed mindset of wanting "the rights of a pedestrian, the rights of a bicycle, and the rights of a car, all at the same time", and yeah most of the accidents I have seen come from this misconception of which category they really belong to!
looks like a very similar effort to ytt: https://get-ytt.io/
it seems like yaql is a different, potentially more limiting, scripting language, but otherwise similar efforts.
