Hi @humanetech :)
I just want to clarify to onlookers that the hare-activity library is purely aspirational at the moment.
But thank you anyway. We dare to dream.
My list of outlined infant #hare programs and libraries
https://sr.ht/~torresjrjr/hare-projects/sources
I may not have enough effective time to complete and perfect these ideas myself, but I'm posting in the hopes others can carry the torch.
Some rationale for the list:
The "darian" and "mayan" libraries if successful will prove that the stdlib design choices for timekeeping, including Hare's timescales and timezones, are robust and expandable as advertised. Also, Martian time is cool.
The "ninefmt" library will provide a friendlier alternative to the stdlib's POSIX subset of strftime "%Y-%m-%d" specifiers. plan9front's tmdate(2) defines a nice "YYYY MM DD" syntax.
The "jsonld" and "activity" libraries will form the bedrock for an eventual #activitypub Fediverse server. I'd love to see another interoperable contender written in Hare. Something modular and simple.
The "chess" library will allow Hare to prove itself as a robust language for complex algorithms and large data. Imagine Deep Blue in Hare, or another #floss lichess.org implementation.

Speaking of science, maybe there should be science/physics-related library. Any ideas?
The "ed" (and "vi") utilities will allows Hare devs to code in their own dogfood. I also have my sights on sam/acme, and structural regular expressions in particular:

Reach out if interested.
As I announced earlier, I've been working on an alternative to PrivacyTools, PrivacyGuides, etc. All of them target non technical users, have sponsors and affiliate links.

It's not finished yet, there's a lot of work to do. But I wanted to announce it so people can contribute to it. If you're interested in contributing, go here:

I like to work with the following rules for simple utilities:
-V -> version
-v -> verbose
-h -> small help text, 20 lines or less. use man for longer text.
-V should print the program name and version number only. Avoid extra info or lines.
$ prog -V
prog 2.0.1
$ prog -V
prog 0.3.4-a7efb4c
There's no guarantee that users you are talking to are also Mastodon users.
Don't encourage monopolization the network. Other servers are equally just as part of the Fediverse.
@peter
It may not, but it's a little annoying and disrespectful to assume every user they see on their Mastodon web interface is also a Mastodon user. There's no guarantee of that! And omitting "the Fediverse" is denying the existance of other servers, which monopolizes the network and gives Mastodon more leeway to push their own implementation of ActivityPub.
@ChiaChatter
If you spend all your time on the Fediverse via the Mastodon interface, you can easily forget (or not even notice) that others are viewing the same content via other interfaces (Pleroma, for example). It all looks like "Mastodon", but it's not! There's no guarantee you're talking to other Mastodon users.

Mine's infused with Turkish cigar. Enhances the experience imo.
Thanks to @vladh’s great work, #hare now has tuple unpacking, as per the spec section 6.6.47.3
const (a, b, c): (i64, str, f64) = (2i, "hello", 1.0);
