looks great, very cool.

1. How about negative wraparound indices, and using : instead for ranges?

2. Have you considered any concurrency primitives, like channels, waitgroups, mutexes? That's one thing I find myself missing a lot, and end up writing hacks with named pipes and flock.

3. Why the backticks for `{expansion} ?

Such an Electron-based program would be unrunnable on my low memory dev machine I use. Web technology is extremely resource intensive. I can't for example run more than 5 Firefox tabs, or Firefox + Telegram, at the same time without my machine crashing.

I'd say, invest a little time learning a GUI framework, like GTK. I'd be able to use it! Or at the very least write a simple, brutalist CSS, traditional CRUD application.

We could make a hare-lunar library, implement whatever lunar chronology they come up with, and base it on some kind of some kind of TCB timescale

Though we might have to make reservations about timescale conversions due to relativistic effects. I don't think the stdlib is supporting spacetime anytime soon.

I agree with this approach and attitude.

@fediversereport
I like to think that "Fediverse" follows the same capitalisation rules as "Internet". Both are proper nouns which refer to a inter-network of some sort.

and as with "internet", people write "fediverse" in casual correspondence. that's not to say fedizens (fediverse netizens) believe "fediverse" is lower case, the same way irc users commonly write in lowercase all the time, but they know it's really "IRC", not "irc.

fwiw, I made the Wiktionary entry for "Fediverse".

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fediver

But honestly, my mind's not set in stone on this.

God dammit I fxxxed up a release after triple checking it lord

@captainepoch
Maybe start a donation goal for precisely that? Maybe people with spare cash are open to supporting your work that way.

i put together a automatically-updating list of wildebeest instances, for convenient blocking or silencing:

please do your part to push back against the corporate takeover of the fediverse by a company that profits from platforming nazis, fascists, and bigots.

All tech people should be forced to test their fancy new software on 5-year-old hardware with a rural internet connection.

Cool :)

First font was nicer! What was it?

Though with regards to the standardized ISO 8601 Gregorian calendar, I can't see how that's the case, unless we factor in timezones, in which case maybe it's something to do with the international date line.
