    I came looking for this comment, as it was difficult for me to tell from the article what was actually wrong with this person. I am not sure why it’s being downvoted, then again I …

    The message overall doesn’t seem especially controversial. I am personally disappointed on what seems to be a de-emphasizing of healthful plant based sources of protein such as bea…

    The article, which you may not have read, specifically calls out the use of JBang[1]for this purpose. [1] https://www.jbang.dev/

    100% correct! Larry Wall, the inventor of Perl once said of Lisp syntax "Lisp has all the visual appeal of oatmeal with fingernail clippings mixed in."[1] I would argue that Python…
