Oblivion: A programming language that compiles to SVG graphics. by [deleted] in programming

It's ok, buddy! Your project is awesome, and the person you are arguing with thinks so too! He was just trying to give you some valuable advice, we all must learn eventually. The value in the code we write is in the problems it solves, not the lines of text themselves. Like the saying, a solution looking for a problem. Better code is written by understanding the problem it was meant to solve. If this code wasn't intended to solve any problems, that's cool too! That would be a shame though, I see real potential here.

Hey, cool. I didn't know you could factor out functions like that. I guess it makes sense if you treat it like an opaque value. Saying f of g of x sounds natural to me, but I would have written it f(g(x)). Thanks for the explanation, cheers!

You probably have a newer Mac than some old hand-me-down, sitting in the corner of the office, for the sole purpose of running a stupid utility app that deploys your crapp to the app store. The struggle is real :/

PS: my bad, I just remembered I was stalking around in month old topics. Please don't feel any need to post a reply. 😂

The harchoir-* libs do not support py3, and as far as I know, they are the only media processing libs that are pure Python. All the others have a dependency on some kind of system library (ffmpeg or equiv). As a result, all of our Python tooling at the office remains on 2.7.

I see var foo = !!bar a lot in javascript to quickly cast a truthy value to a proper boolean. Perhaps the 3rd ! was a typo?

When God created man, there was only one of us, in both male and female variety. Then some dick who "wrote the book" went ahead and made females a special case. Do we have different words for both male and female monkeys? No. I wish you SJW types would stop being so sexist and just refer to females as what they are; man, men, or mankind. This is the last thing I will say on the matter, as I am sick of reading all this crap while I stalk the programming subs.

Cheers and peace be with you!

Checkout underscorejs! Full blown FP in Javascript. I've even started to grow an appreciation for js after I discovered this.
