@velartrill regarding scheme, i don't really like functional languages, they all feel wrong to me for general purpose programming. it's different for number crunching where they make much sense imo, but i seldom do that. futhark is something i think is interesting for this, but it's really specialized and meant to be used as extension from other languages.

terra also looks interesting. i don't really care much for lua though.

i found that for systems software and servers go is nice. it's a small language with features i like. i can write (and more importantly read) it at 3 in the morning. i can cross compile without getting heart problems, and don't have crazy deployment problems like with python etc .

in the end it's just preference and using the right tool for the job :)

i'd like to have my reality back, thanks.

@velartrill i don't know why so many people dislike go tbh. there is some google related crap going on, but the language itself is the bees knees in terms of expressiveness combined with simplicity. it's from old bell labs people after all ;)

@meeper @velartrill there also is neatroff which is a new implementation and from what I've heard really good: http://litcave.rudi.ir/

@velartrill iirc "the go programming language" is typeset with groff and some awk scripts :)

@dwaltiz you don't bite the hand that feeds you :)

@velartrill the *roffs are among the most underrated pieces of software. the output looks great if you use good fonts. the small languages surrounding it like pic and eqn are also great. much more user friendly than what you have to write in LaTeX (i never used plain TeX but heard that it's quite sane, more like roff).

@selea althttpd is really nice if one needs something simple https://sqlite.org/althttpd/doc/trunk/althttpd.md

@Linuxkumpel alimentierungsanstalten für gescheiterte "journalisten" :)

@louiscouture i'd argue that most measures just shift prosperity to other areas which are not throwaway-culture.

wie wärs mal mit "7 Tage unter Journalisten", würde sicherlich ins format passen.

wenn jeder das angebot bekommen hat aus der politik auszusteigen, wäre es nur ungerecht den nichtpolitikern gegenüber wenn die maßnahmen für alle gleichermaßen aufrecht erhalten würden.
