@genehack I encounter this sort of thing frequently with Emacs packages. A few excellent packages, and many where it doesn’t seem to occur to them that someone might be using their code.

@genehack Contrast with VS Code which I’m pretty sure has rules for even showing up in the package listing.
Or Vim packages which seem to be driven by “file an issue and I’ll get to it as soon as I figure out my todo.txt github integration”

(That particular playlist included Man Man, Miles Davis, Beirut, and Captain Beefheart.)

Perl could use an “it looks like you think you’re using /x in this regular expression” warning.

Site tests fail much quicker in Perl than in Python.
Benchmarking tools can barely measure time elapsed between hopes raised and hopes dashed.
so much better

Okay tests pass again. Now that the flames settled down, I am pleased to note that build+test completes in 10s, instead of 45-60s.
Back to that blog post I was writing about this clever idea, back before the flames. Maybe add a disclaimer.
