Fascinating read from Dijkstra from 1978 (while ignoring some other annoying stuff in there): https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD06xx/EWD667.html "when judging the relative merits of programming languages, some still seem to equate "the ease of programming" with the ease of making undetected mistakes."
E.W.Dijkstra Archive: On the foolishness of "natural language programming". (EWD 667)

Many hours of fiddling mean that I can parse the XML into something which I can munge in R and make relatively pretty plots with ggplot.
There is no way I am going to try mixing R into any back end of any device, but I've managed to make something which can read the open data, so I could notionally do it again.

Quirky retro cafes, national heroes, cathedral crypts, and weird bunny sculptures in a wheelbarrow. Yep, sounds like a day out in #Vilnius ☕🐺⛪🐰
