might fuck around and learn lisp

or probably at least clojure!

@kiminuki !!! owo!

@kiminuki We tried Lisp and couldn't really get the hang of it.

Also OMG the community in general is weirdly prescriptive about formatting style. Don't listen to them. You do NOT have to do the weird hanging indent thing.

And you do not have to use Emacs, either.

@IceWolf i'm cool with formatting style guidelines tbh! i probably used to care more about that but eh, python for decades probably made it moot lol

@kiminuki hee!

Yeah language-or-community-enforced style "guidelines" just piss me off. It's our codebase, not yours!!! It's fine when your codebase has a style guideline... not when your COMPILER tries to do it.

And ever notice how the spaces people try to FORCE EVERYONE to use spaces (*projectile pukes in YAML's general direction*), and the tabs people don't?

@kiminuki but fortunately Lisp itself doesn't pull that crap! (Unlike Rust.) It's whitespace agnostic.

...Heck even Python is worlds better about this than Rust is.

@IceWolf i can't say i'm bothered nearly as much by this! and yeah, we've dealt with yaml as well, we really prefer json, but it's whatever when dealing with kubey and ansible
