Participants

• Me

• Lion Kimbro

What has been happening (Lion)

• Left star community due to the divergence of interests

• Sacred vs Divine

  • Sacred is passive

  • Divine is something happening (driven by God, sometimes)

  • Holy books are both

• Biosphere 2 project

• The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse

  • Timur has read it, others have not

Software engineering in eastern Europe universities

• the topic of weird spaces:

  someobject.method (arg1, arg2, arg3) .method2 ()
  someobject.method ( arg1, arg2, arg3 ).method2 ()
  someobject
  .method(arg1, arg2, arg3)
  .method2()

• the language of choice in RU is C++;

• Timur would have preferred C, Python or Scheme;

• Ciprian's bash style (no functions, the script calls itself, and the function bodies, are actually contained as arms inside a big case;)

• both Lion and Ciprian think that perhaps Basic (or Logo) is a better introductory language;

• https://www.hmc.edu is the college Lion went to;

• man pages distribution?

• embed source code with go:embed — https://github.com/volution/z-run/blob/development/sources/embedded/build.go
