That article erases her queerness and the fact she had a wife (who was even in the car with her).

Ah! So the question is, how does snot produce SO MUCH HUMAN? 🤔

It was a bit tongue-in-cheek. "Theoretical cobol" is a truer answer.

I did some Advent of Code in COBOL, that's the extent of my xp. Good fun. Anyone complaining that pwsh is verbose should give it a go.

It's perfectly possible to write horrific cryptic concise nonsense in pwsh if you want to.

Shouldn't the comparison be made from the perspective of someone who's never seen either lang before?

I found Perl very accessible.
Although I use pwsh a lot & it's my go-to for most things, I've seen some absolutely disgusting scripts. A lot comes down to who writes it, not the lang itself.

Some people will use backspace on an entire line to fix a typo in the first word.

It's a wild world out there.

You mean you don't have 4 news apps giving you alerts?

That's... Probably a better way to live....

The artist radios tend to throw up good things, for me.

Maybe yours is a constant, then.... 🤔

I think if I saw something named like that, it would be a signal to me that it's not a mere "wrapper", so it serves a purpose in that sense. Although by all accounts, I am certainly not "most people".

Nah, it's still there.

I don't think I'd expect linguistic tricks from Literature.
I'm getting a sense that the "tweet" style short-form might be a bit too restrictive for you. 😅

Then canopy seems fine...
