by definition pish posh is the most elegant programming language out there which means you should all start programming in it now immediately

@kibi (assign-tasks '(do-this) kit)

im on it

@KitRedgrave

[ assign-tasks
'[ do-this
kit

@kibi this offends my design sensibilities

the brackets don't balance!!

@KitRedgrave lol sorry sorry

assign-tasks:
': do-this
kit

@KitRedgrave *whispers* see how these are the same thing 👀

@kibi this confuzzles me. is : a list creation operator? how do you delimit them??

@KitRedgrave uhhh whitespace 🙃

i'm basically just ripping off of yaml here only more obtuse and confusing

@KitRedgrave there's no reason why you COULDN'T implement sexprs in YAML 🤔

@kibi this is cursed

@KitRedgrave as you know i'm reading up on Prolog and i gotta say it's not THAT different from JSON-LD 🤔

@kibi @KitRedgrave it seems like Prolog _shouldn't_ be that different than JSON-LD, right? They're both trying to represent knowledge by piles of tuples aren't they?

(I ask, having done very little Prolog and having run away screaming when I tried to read the JSON-LD spec 😅)

@jamey @kibi @KitRedgrave strongly agree with "ran away screaming"

@er1n @jamey @KitRedgrave yeah they're both expressing predicate relations between subjects and objects (although "subject" isn't as concrete of a term in Prolog as it is in RDF/JSON-LD afaict)

@kibi @er1n @KitRedgrave
?- mastodon instance where the only UI is a Prolog prompt, when? 🤔

no.

@jamey @kibi @er1n @KitRedgrave

?- prolog jokes
yes.
