APL!

Mine‘s Lisp.

NetSurf needs more developers, which is one of the reasons for the development pace, and I’m happy for every occasion to help them get more, so here’s today’s one.

(Mature software needs fewer updates than fresh software too, but that’s probably not the most critical aspect here.)

Used FF forever

So you probably should remember the Mozilla FAQ entry that it’s “Firefox”, not “FireFox”; and that’s why they prefer “fx” because “FF” makes no sense. ;-p

Oh no, does this mean that Mozilla doesn’t give a damn about the privacy of their last twelve users? I.e. those who did not see that coming a decade ago?

Or make NetSurf good enough? It’s mature (and lacking developers), Ladybird is not.

Or just make NetSurf good enough?

Anyway, thank you for creating a debloated tool.

That’s what I was aiming at. I hope I succeeded.

Don’t worry - users are good enough for me. Not everyone needs to be a contributor. ;-)

Dude loves efficient software. So quirky! 🤪

(But yes, I am a quirky fellow.)

Because the existing software sucks.

I update my servers with pkg_add -u. No reason to over complicate things.

Finally.

Wow. Honestly, thank you! I had entirely forgot that this wiki even exists. I’ve bookmarked your reply. :-)

Thank you, the subshell idea is a good one!

Ah, I could probably use Perl or something as well. I was hoping awk could do it though. But thank you, I hadn’t heard about pyp before!

You wouldn’t be able to split up expressions like this

Ah, that already answers my original question. A pity!

Sure, but that’s inside a string:

$ printf "This is a   # let's break \
> long line."
This is a   # let's break long line.

awk remains unimpressed:

$ echo "This is a test.
> It has three lines, so I can
> test awk on it." | awk '
> NR>2    # Skip two lines. \
> { print $2 }   # should only print "awk"
> '
is
has
test awk on it.
awk

Wouldn’t the backslash be a part of the comment?

The same is just as true for LaTeX: it’s a great, intuitive language
