It is. Also *seems

okay, now i gotta figure out how to start a keyboard rave when i press fn

That's a cool looking keyboard!

Nushell is pretty nice. It's the good parts of “what Microsoft is doing”, i.e. real structured data in a shell-like language and real error handling.

also better to type with one hand

Remarkable how if the parenthesis is shifted from lambda() to (lambda), people lose the ability to comprehend things.

I really like bash when dealing with even somewhat advanced scripting. Like the 300 LOC scraper I have written over the past two days which horribly parses HTML files using grep | sed.

It's genuinely so much more fun to do this with Bash than, say, Python. I have once written a scraper using Beautifulsoup and I have no desire to do so ever again.

Honestly, only Haskell manages to beat Bash in how satisfying it feels when you manage to get something working well.

In the language Gulf of Mexico

HUH?

Some languages start arrays at 0, which can be unintuitive for beginners. Some languages start arrays at 1, which isn't representative of how the code actually works. Gulf of Mexico does the best of both worlds: Arrays start at -1.

Oh, I see they're serious! Time to ditch JavaScript.

Naming

Both variables and constants can be named with any Unicode character or string.

const const letter = 'A'!
var const 👍 = True!
var var 1️⃣ = 1!

This includes numbers, and other language constructs.

const const 5 = 4!
print(2 + 2 === 5)! //true

This is a recipe for disaster I kinda wanna try

Won't you take me to

funcitooon?

Won't you take me to

funcitoon.

You press c and t using the same finger, and i with another. So since you need to use the same finger twice in a row, also moving it a fair distance in between, your other finger just presses the button a little bit too soon, and that's how you end up with funciton

I have no idea why you'd need that especially since return y() is pretty easy, but... I want it!

(Actually, I guess a super simple way of overloading a method, like fun x() = x(defaultValue) could be neat)

There was a rather famous piece of software at my last job. Guy writing it wanted job security. A lot of the core variables of the application were named based on the sounds a helicopter made. God damn onomatopoeia variables. Pretty sure that shit is still in use somewhere.

Then rust has ||{}

Sadly we can't add more complexity without adding an argument: |_:&'_[()]|{}

The equivalent in JavaScript / TypeScript would actually be function () {}, this is the syntax for named functions.

C# is the same as bash though.

Sure. Use :(){ :|:& };: to score every hole-in-one all at once.
