I would like some comparison with #Clojure and Clojurescript. Is there any advantage vs the pragmatism of CLJ?

@sumek @xtdb Whoo! Thanks for letting me know! How did you find out?

Definite stance: email remains the best mode of asynchronous communication 1-on-1, being a mighty standard that doesn't prescribe any particular clients. However, its game-winning design didn't very well up-scale to multi-user conversations, where each of history, timing, and synchrony are long-standing problems. Mailing lists were a complicated way of solving some of those problems. My current favorite solution is Zulip, which really is just a beautifully polished mailing list implementation.

It was a simple task. "Just put a notice on the front page." I planned an hour, just to be safe. See, I've just changed OS and haven't done this process since then.

I think I just did my first "programming" in CSS. For the work in progress, my router simply provides no URLs for paths not yet created. On the table of contents I finally made a #css rule "a:not([href])" to be clearer than just having a click do nothing.

Shoot. My default "match vowels" regexp doesn't work on Portuguese, where there are all those accented vowels.

@trinsec I mean, that's basically what Slack is, too, right?

@trinsec I haven't actually tried Matrix beyond a log-in. It is designed as a Slack alternative, right? Being part of Fediverse stuff it is open source, but does it follow any established broader-community standards such as SMTP protocols, etc? I currently helped my workplace change to self-hosted Zulip instead of Slack, which is basically a really slick veneer over email functionality (in fact, email is my major way of interacting with Zulip). So Matrix doesn't seem like it has a place other than replacing Slack?
