Very nice!!

Does it not print the notes? I tried to print a month and it is not showing any notes in the preview.


I have used Raku (Perl 6) with good results.

Common Lisp. Using 'iterate' package almost feels like cheating.

I have done half a year in (noob level) Haskell long ago. But can't find the code any more.

Most mind blowing thing for me was looking at someone's solutions in APL!


Few years into Perl 6, they should have recognized the writing on the wall, forked off Raku and let Perl 5 grow on its own.

One of the biggest fumbles in the history of computing. (With hindsight ofcourse..)


Same here. I use Raku instead.


I use Raku on a regular basis. I think it is the best language to write DevOps (for lack of a better term) scripts.

Perfect for people who find Bash too sharp and fragile and Python too tedious.


Ocaml can be as imperative as you need it to be. Or as functional.

It has no dogmatic inclination towards functional. It has a very pragmatic approach to mutation.


True, but writing imperative code in OCaml feels quite right. Maybe it's just me, but it always feels significantly clunkier than the functional equivalent. I've had things I've been implementing and though "this works be easier to express imperatively", and almost invariably I've gone and rewritten the code to be functional because of how ungainly the imperative implementation ended up being. It feels a bit too much like somebody embedded a subset of Rexx or Pascal awkwardly into an otherwise perfectly reasonable functional language


We have moved all our stuff to Bruno nowadays.


Emacs/Tramp does that for me.


Hell, I have always wanted a '67 mustang. Time to ditch modern cars and get one.

I particularly hate the 'modern' trend of have a large touch screen tablet instead of all the knobs and buttons.


Fair enough, though fwiw automobile makers seem to have taken note on the pushback to the touch screen controls, and 2025MY vehicles are actually starting to shift away from touch screens and back to physical controls again.


Even some motorcycles have electronic throttle control now a days. When you twist the throttle, it doesn't pull a cable anymore.

Its all controlled by electronics now.
