#TIL that moose has parameterized roles.

When metaprogramming isn't meta enough.
So the activity streams vocabulary says a 'Link' object has properties href, rel, mediaType, name, hreflang, height, width, and preview and nothing more; a 'Mention' object extends the Link object without adding properties, and example 58 shows how you construct a Mention object which has the property 'summary'... that is allowed nowhere in the same document for that specific message.

No, the spec is absolutely not ambiguous.
#TFW I'm working my way through the ActivityPub vocabulary and I'm able to parse 141 out of 143 examples in the spec when I get to example 103 and see that the vocabulary actually wants to do multiple inheritance which means I need to use moose roles, not objects, so I kinda have to now rethink everything...

I was asked by a 20 year younger friend how my internet was back then. I needed a moment but then I told her the story of an IRC channel and how we made the day for a young girl who happened to be on our IRC channel. Because this is what my internet was like back then and I wish sometimes it still was like this. Let me tell the story:

I was 25, the channel members were like 20 to 30 years old. Somehow this young girl found her way to us. She was 14 when she joined the channel. >>
