Lest we forget: Obama secured the Iran deal without starting a war, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, or losing a single American life.

But please, tell me more about how “toughness” requires body bags.

I missed using the #XMonad window manager after moving to Wayland, so I made my own terminal emulator in #rakulang with #gtk4 and VTE: https://avuserow.bearblog.dev/introducing-relayterm/

Hi friends.

I'm looking for alternatives to #rust. Ready to go learn something new. I'd love some recommendations on languages with the general rust ethos but less of the rust drama.

I know #zig is the obvious alternative, but the content I usually see promoting zig seems to indicate that they like zig because it isn't rust, which makes me think maybe I won't like zig. I actually do like rust.

#raku is on my list, but I don't think it's going to fit the bill.

I need to do:
- #webdev
- cli tooling (with emphasis on good TUI tooling)
- general scripting
- work with lots of concurrency

I want the language to:
- be fun to write
- be strongly typed
- tell me when I'm doing something stupid
- not be overly invested in a particular niche
- not be primary sponsored by a corporate entity
- not be interpreted
- include a dependency tool chain like Cargo

Taking a strong stance on:
- nothing falling over itself to cram LLMs in

I have lots and lots of experience with these already:
- #perl
- #php
- #python
- #ruby
- #elixir
- #rust
- #c

Suggestions don't need to hit every bullet point. Added tags along the way to try hitting a wide audience. Hit me with your best stuff.
