3360 LOC for all of Photon, compiler, runtime, server, and standard library, including photon-dom (350) and photon-ui widgets (350) and including a bunch of inline RCF tests for the compiler which is too hard to factor out. + an additional 1200 LOC of language tests.
Weird stuff happens when you are trying to find the minimal fix for an old thing, knowing there is a better way but it would take a lot of time.
Thankfully, "me@gmail.com" is a valid username as just "me" so I didn't need to refactor my data structures or function.
Scratch that. If I have "gmail" twice in my authinfo it seems to always use the first one, regardless of who I've said the user should be.

"Can't Fail The Build Pipeline If They're Commented Out!"

All this time I've made an awkward and cumbersome work-around for having multiple log-ins for the same smtp server. The missing fact was that I can have the same server specified multiple times in my .authinfo.gpg, and boom! No longer do I need to touch my /etc/hosts! Win for simplification!

There's a pretty big difference between saying, "I have dryer balls" and "I have drier balls".
Spelling: it saves lives.

The results look pretty good for Clojure, though. ๐ Thereโs always a silver lining. https://twitter.com/solnic29a/status/1539658410194784256

Sorry, but thanks to social media we now have attention spans like Homer Simpson's Goldfish. TL;DR https://twitter.com/TwitterWrite/status/1539640956915290112

I ask because I suspect there are some solid answers.
To all the JVM users out there, other than momentum/ecosystem, what is the primary elevator pitch for doing JVM-based webdev in 2022? What does the JVM give us compared to Node, PHP, or Python?
Sibling comment: "it looks like it's from a video game." Like it goes with this:

Very nice! I didn't know about zstd. Trying it out:
Comparison: tar.gz 1.9G 11 min, tar.xz 1.2G 88 min
33 min, 1.3G result, -19 and all cores:
tar -c -I 'zstd -19 -T0' -f cleaned_files.tar.zst cleaned_files/
2 min, 1.7G result, -11 and all cores:
tar -c -I 'zstd -11 -T0' -f cleaned_files11.tar.zst cleaned_files/
Result: -11 compression on the ZSTD was smaller than the gzip compression and also more than 5 times faster. -19 compression was almost as small as the xz compression, and nearly 3x faster.

GitHub Copilot costs $10/month... I wonder how much of that goes to the programmers whose code is plagiarized for its corpus ๐ค
