Just lurking around

oh, and also hijacking threads to promote Virtual Json Viewer https://github.com/paolosimone/virtual-json-viewer

paolosimone··on Advanced Python Features
If the team is familiar with Functional Programming concepts, I'd actually suggest

  available_servers = (server for server in servers if server.check_availability())
  primary_server = next(available_servers, backup_server)
  deploy_application(primary_server)
which IMHO better conveys the intent to the reader (i.e. focus on "what to do" over "how to do it")
paolosimone··on The Flix Programming Language
Literally started playing with it yesterday!

Rough edges, but I'm really liking it so far. Let's see how it will handle the upcoming Advent of Code.

paolosimone··on Functional Python Programming
I tried to preach functional programming style to my data analysts colleagues once... it ended poorly, but it was fun!

If you want to smile, here is the presentation I made (warn: old memes ahead)

paolosimone··on Show HN: Jless, a command-line JSON viewer
Maybe hijacking the thread, but if you prefer to stay in the browser give also a try to Virtual Json Viewer extension [1][2]. I developed it to navigate large json files at work and it also integrates JQ.

unrelated: this is my very first comment on HN, hurray!
