Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?
Working on a lemmy moderation bot that receives webhooks instead of making API calls to retrieve certain stuff.
I’m working on a fault-tolerant JSON5 parsing library in the service of a JSON5-to-JSON and JSON5-to-YAML transpiler.
My goal is to never write any more YAML ever again.
An honorable goal 😀
What did YAML ever do to you?
I am a YAML hater. The biggest thing about YAML that keeps biting me recently is this:
script: - echo "a key: a value"
throws parse errors because of the colon, even though it is inside a quoted string.
But there are lots of reasons to hate YAML.
Honestly, an underrated one to me is I just hate significant whitespace. I don’t want to use any language that supports it.
Trying to build a Pomodoro timer applet in libcosmic.
That’s interesting, I heard of Cosmic recently but I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I guess you’re liking it if you’re already building apps on it?
