Same here... if my script needs conditions or loops I rather write it in Rust.
For me biggest inconvenience scripting in Rust was typed error handling since you almost always want your script to just exit on error so I have implemented Problem type:

I have also implemented single file scripting with focus on low execution latency:

And a very messy scripting prelude that goes with it:

The slides of my #FDroid talk from yesterday are now online here: https://bubu1.eu/fdroid_fsfe_berlin_feb20.pdf
It contains some interesting stats about F-Droid over the last year.

I went to Google I/O AMP workshop once with my colleague and we made AMP version of our mobile site - it was not faster than the original. Organisers were not very happy with our presentation at the end of the workshop 😃

I would not mind if Reader Mode in FireFox was the default view mode for all news sites. This is a killer feature for me.

@strypey But while you can pump it from the ground cheaply, it's wonderful.
Look up the story of Indian's end-of-the-century natural gas boom for a truly staggering lesson on hubris and idiocy:

Lately I've seen some incorrect statements and facts about Linux on mobile being thrown around, and I decided to write a blog post to give some more correct info. Please give it a read https://fam-ribbers.com/2019/12/28/State-of-Linux-on-mobile-and-common-misconceptions.html 😄
If you see any mistakes I've made, please correct me!

As a trained scientist and a self-taught artist, the strongest commonalities I see between science and art are the ways they teach and enable us to understand the world around us.
Drawing hard lines between the disciplines denies their overlap. Many great scientists were artists

I wanted i3 since Fast Tracker II 😃 At least Mac OS has a full screen mode now, when I have to work on one.

The plurality of Linux distros is often spotlighted as some kind of issue. I agree that "fragmentation" is a marketing headache, but a technical one?
I don't think so.
Using Linux is (to me) inherently about choice. My choice, your choice, other people's choice. People choice to approach things in different ways for different reasons for different results. To experiment. To push boundaries. Reinvent. Rethink.
Linux is, for me, a momentum or a force, not a standardised end product or ideal.
