@NWBylines Breakfast is a cup of coffee, for me. Maybe two. Even three. I suppose, I've technically broken my fast if I put oat milk in it. Sometimes I'll eat at "lunch time"; other times not until mid-afternoon. On occasion I'll go all day until evening before I eat. I also don't go to work on an egg. is gg

Apropos of nothing, I put the bi pride flag colours in my shell prompt. I don't actually have anything to show in those segments, mind

Guess who got to the polling station and _then_ remembered he needed to take photo ID? Luckily it's a nice day for two walks to the polling station. 😆

I voted Green, obviously.

No photo of my bike at the polling station; as I said, I walked. \o/

@dan https://go.dev/doc/faq#go_or_golang makes a fair point about the #golang hashtag, and that makes more sense to me
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - The Go Programming Language

@dan You mean the language came after the game? I mean, I realise that, but it doesn't explain people saying "Ziglang" or "Odinlang". OK, maybe Odin. And Zig if we're talking all your base... But, but... it still annoys me! 😂

@dan But is that a self-fulfilling thing, where you can't search for "concurrency in Go" because everyone's titled their pages "concurrency in Golang" :D It doesn't overly bother me, but I must admit to some minor annoyance. The old golang.org domain didn't help that one though =)

@dan Maybe (although I would search for "D programming language" not "Dlang" for example, and I don't know how many people would default to the x-lang construction), but when they're speaking in a YouTube video though?

Why do people insist of calling programming languages "-lang"? "Golang" (Go), "Dlang" (D), "Ziglang" (Zig), "Erlang" -- OK, I'll give them that one. But still...

@sarajw Yuletide greetings! Feels like a Jethro Tull kind of day
