Well said! I always default to the GPL licenses myself. Minimal vs "Bloated" is orthogonal to MIT/BSD vs GNU.

Despite reading your blog post when it came out, I skimmed over the fact that you also switched your website's license to CC-BY-SA until today, so I quickly updated my copyright page to reflect that.

I'm really loving how your site is shaping up to be. It's certainly one of my favorites :)

It’s still the primary programming language for many engineering firms… concerningly

As a fellow Lua programmer, any love for this language is appreciated! "My only gripe with Lua is, ironically enough, that it is dynamically typed." Have you tried Lua dialects that support static or gradual typing, such as Teal and Luau? https://github.com/teal-language/tl https://github.com/luau-lang/luau

I have tried Luau, it is surprisingly nice :D The only issue I see with Lua "dialects" is that they're not that popular, which makes the code less portable across systems. I didn't mention it in the blog post, but I've also been playing around with Umka, which is like a scripted Go. https://github.com/vtereshkov/umka-lang

Great list! I very much admire odin so it was pleasant to see another site mention it. I also really like Go and Lua. Oh and I see you've been experimenting with Umka, which is also another language that caught my attention.

Thank you! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) I like your website's design a lot as well. About metka (the markup language), it is very barebones (though I may extend it in the future) - roughly around 300 lines of C - the general idea being that it gives you some simple "commands" that get transformed into HTML structures. I have tried Pandoc in the past, but found it really slow on my older PCs lol

And this is the shell script that generates the entire site: https://codeberg.org/vihmu/site/src/branch/main/build.sh
you might need to do a Ctrl+Shift+R again, I redesigned quite a few things :p
Liking the redesign! I'm glad you've started sharing your art, too; your style is very sweet. Your article on lust is great, also. I read through your reviews and noticed we've enjoyed a lot of the same media, and I wonder if you've ever read any of Sugaru Miaki's works. You might enjoy them. 'Parasite in Love' is my favourite by him.
Thank you!! I'm glad you like my art :) I've heard of Sugaru Miaki before from some manga review, but didn't look into his bibliography. I'll be sure to check out 'Parasite in Love', thanks for the recommendation :D
I like your relativism post, I think I agree you which must make you objectively right!
Thank you for linking me on your article about lust.
@yattsuke thank you for following! The advice in your article was really helpful, God bless
