there's a certain visual poetry to my badly written code
@lynnesbian for extra lesbian flare see if you can edit the colors used in the brace coloring to be the lesbian flag
@Lunaphied i should absolutely do that
@lynnesbian I managed to do it with the one we use in Neovim
@Lunaphied the colours need tweaking, but it does look cool
@lynnesbian yeah I seem to remember we made some tweaks to make things stand out a bit better on a dark background
@lynnesbian it has zhe feel of an old tumblr post screenshot, where only 1 person's account is still around lol
@lynnesbian read to the tune of badger badger badger mushroom

@lynnesbian I think it could be a song even.

@lynnesbian

Does this even compile? I would expect a comma somewhere.

@Phosphenes it does! it's rust, so the last expression is the return value of a block. so code like this:

let x = {
let a = 5;
a + 2
}

will set x to 7.

Holds press-to-talk ... True
@lynnesbian bold of you to not give a content warning....
@lynnesbian reminds me of the joke about the hacker who stole a top secret LISP program and published the last page of the code to prove it

this is not how you format parens in Lisp!

closing parens collect on the last line of the current form

clearly this hacker was an amateur, i only see this kind of mistake from java programmers
