This ban probably comes as a response to this activist project by the Peng! collective: https://pen.gg/campaign/mask-id-2/ where they used morphed portraits for passports.

"pervasive multiple-dispatch design tailored towards JIT code generation" sounds interesting. What is the relationship between the two?

It's about APL.

How did you start? The usual, climbing on it and falling off?

The Oberon OS works that way as well.

Leo Brodie says in "Thinking Forth" in the style section: "The most-accurate, least-expensive documentation is self-documenting code". I am sure there are other prior examples.

Not really answering your question, but more to the point of the discussion in my opinion, a() + b() could be ambiguous if a() and b() are functions with side effects and the evaluation order of the +-operator is not specified.

also cd - which goes back to the last directory you cd'd from.

I would love to be able to remove a (huge) file without going through the trash can.
