@socketwench been there a while. Course, I cheated, by assisting the kids at a homeless shelter in setting up Linux on recycled laptops.

Pondering SQLite, but concerned about C bridge frustrations in Go. Looking at an embedded Go database.
ObjectBox? This sounds cool. How do I install it? There should be a go get or something?
“Pipe this external shell to bash”
uh…no but I’ll download and read it.
Fetch tarball, run cc to build a linkable library, install system-wide, go get the actual Go module…
anyways
Pondering SQLite.

@chuck Ooh yes I’ll be taking a closer look at that. Thanks!
Just need to finish this exploratory detour with Genji

@jmac Google+ was specifically when I was most disappointed by them, thanks to their name policy shift.
I thought the platform itself was pretty nifty, and though my initial excitement wore off, it wasn’t until the name thing that my reaction to any Google announcement became “what now?”

@minego she ate the mushed one. And she tried again.

Satisfying morbid curiosity to see what a Perl version of my Go learning project looks like (that started out as a Python experiment btw).
To keep the headaches minimal I’m following the same logic flow.
Here’s the Perl equivalent of 26 lines I wrote in Go.
It’s harder to compare with the Python code because I was having fun with Pydantic, but it’s more than three lines.
It was so much easier I’m almost mad. OTOH it’s brittle as-is and I’d end up expanding it for clarity and corner cases.
(edit to add as screenshot, where highlighting and code context make it a bit less frightening to casual viewers)

@pdcawley yah, it was a rare case where I refactored to golf, since tr/// does both the trimming and the counting. Splitting it into multiple expressions felt — redundant?
