Elisa Beshero-BondarEagerly watching/listening to @mathling present on the aesthetics of code in XQuery at #balisage2025
Hearing about how @mathling handles type casting in XQuery in a way that doesn’t offend DRY principles… and points out the splendid “cast as” type declaration in XQuery 4.0.
Fun discussion of creative uses of uncommonly used Unicode symbols for function libraries in Q/A for @mathling ‘s paper (where we saw some Cherokee and some Cyrillic).
