I knew @borkdude was accomplishing magic with by using GraalVM, but I finally got around to actually looking up what Graal is. I had no idea it was specifically an holy graail on the JVM, emphasizing polyglot languages! https://www.graalvm.org/docs/introduction/
More top-shelf work from @borkdude ! Checking it out now to see if it explains the miracle of graal. Wait... they have a page for that... enlightenment.... thanks for leading the way, borkdude!

Made a project which uses #clojure http://tools.build and #babashka together. It has shared code for both runtimes and prevent unnecessary rebuilds.
E.g. bb jar or bb uber immediately quit within milliseconds if there is nothing to…

@AlexandriasTech I've never thought that regular expressions were special to Linux. That said, I use them about every hour. They are part of how I navigate around my system and my files, not to mention find and replace goodness. Having a good editor helps, though, so you aren't regexing blind.
@icedquinn How is Julia? That's one of those languages where I wouldn't even recognize its code of it was before me. Still the best for numerics, or are Go or Rust in the running? Or possibly even Python?

My memory suggested that context-sensitive grammars don't quite require the full powers of a Turing machine, so I thought I'd check your claim that they require a "full computer".
I was right: context-sensitive grammars require only a linear bounded automaton, which has only a finite tape, in contrast to a Turing machine's infinite tape.
But you were right, too! As Wikipedia points out, real-world computers do, in fact, have finite memory, so a linear bounded automaton is a better model of a real computer than a Turing machine is!

⚡ Every Web Developer should know and use WebP images
The WebP image format is considered a next-gen image format and reduces the file size for images by 25-35%.
This is crucial for modern SEO and web performance.

Random person: if you are not paid for contributing to open Source, why do you keep doing it.
Me:
- the experience is life changing
- the network I have built is long lasting
- Self satisfaction of being a part of something big 😌

Reasons why I like Python:
- Really great syntax
- used in frontend, backend, Data science, etc
- it gives a strong base that can be used to learn other languages
- TONS of resources for learning
- Incredible amount of job opportunities in multiple fields
- Strong community
@icedquinn Oh, I understand that. So much learning that probably will have 0 value after this project... that's web scraping for you.

There's multiple tiers with which to classify how much computational power is required to parse a given language/format/protocol. Whether it's binary or textual doesn't make a significant difference.
A "regular" grammar can be expressed as a state machine (a "finite automaton"), where parsing involves treating the input text as a path though the labelled graph.
A "pushdown automaton" adds a callstack.
Context-dependant grammers require a full computer.

@hans_w as in, the datastructure underlying code representations in the machine?
@icedquinn They must really not want you scraping them!
As a software engineer I frequently encounter things that make me say, "Nice! I can tell a lot of work went in to that." Or other times, "what a clever use of that technique!" But on occasion there is something that just works like magic and I am left with no clue how that was even possible.
For me this includes
- exwm
- git diff
- email
- web sockets
How about you? What is some Magic Tech software in your book?
@icedquinn sounds like you are trying to scrape stuff, if you need automation tools?
@icedquinn web apps should use javascript; that's what it is for, and it is a decent language. But the VAST majority of websites are not web apps, and shouldn't try to be.
