Each time I create something great, I fear it was a fluke and I'm never going to make anything good again. #aprilTruthsDay

@john_harper @HelicityBoson @strasa Dope! That's a great present!

So I let my domain name lapse (oops) and now someone else owns it so would be best to avoid for now.

TBH, I've been feeling like changing my online name, as I don't feel as strong a connection to this one these days.

@Avedaggio "mm yes this hay is acceptable, keep it coming, let me check the sides too..."

[John LeBoeuf-Little (he/him) @worldnamer]

@Avedaggio 😍

[John LeBoeuf-Little (he/him) @worldnamer]

@kerrizor @Avedaggio I imagine you would feel this

[John LeBoeuf-Little (he/him) @worldnamer]

@Avedaggio The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

@vidityavoleti I find APs that cover rules - specifically how the rules led to the play experiences they had - are the most valuable to me.

@atweetingtwit I'll check it out!

[John LeBoeuf-Little (he/him) @worldnamer]

I've been doing a bit of programming with Rust and I have to say I don't immediately hate it. The object oriented features do feel clunky, almost compulsively so, but I've done enough C to not immediately be turned off by their almost compulsive avoidance of classes.

[John LeBoeuf-Little (he/him) @worldnamer]

@atweetingtwit I get you. I am very much of the opinion: "you have a struct, and you have added methods to that struct, including a new method, so you obviously made a class, you just don't want to call it a class." That doesn't put me off entirely, and taking inheritance out ain't the worst.

[John LeBoeuf-Little (he/him) @worldnamer]

Looking forward to seeing what I can learn. This might become my command-line tool language of choice. The only problem with that right now is the amazingly large binaries that the default settings produce. Gotta learn how to get those down from their half-meg starting point.

[John LeBoeuf-Little (he/him) @worldnamer]

All the critical libraries seem to be there - Postgres drivers, Date and Time manipulation, HTTP clients, and more. There are GUI packages out there, such as FLTK or GTK - but windowing systems are the MOST OS specific part of a program, so grain of salt there.
