I want it to have a more concise syntax (no keywords, fewer characters) but feel familiar to most programmers. All definitions use square brackets in combination with some other set of characters.

e.g.

``` [myFunc](arg1,arg2){ ?(true){ #do something }{ #do something else } } ```

A lot of people still think reading and re-reading textbooks is the way to memorise theorems but recall (attempting to remember them without the book) is much better.

I cannot recommend the book "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley enough - it put me on a journey to re-learning Maths as an adult.

Later I joined the company full time and discovered to my amazement that a contractor from a different company had removed the RRules in favour of creating and destroying instances of events on the fly. It had no/little fault tolerance so sometimes the script (which did other things that would sometimes fail) would fail to create new events. You'd have monthly recurring events with missing months.

I found it so frustrating that (after going through a lot of thought and research) that someone hadn't put anywhere near as much effort into removing mine. It took just a few weeks at that company to realise that the CEO expected the Engineering team to pump out features (that nobody used) at his will and, in the uncertainty of the job market, sadly I stayed there for 2 years.

Unrelated footnote: After Googling them, it's really sad to see what are blatantly fake reviews by the CEO on Glassdoor all written in the same style with nothing bad to say. I (and a bunch of other people I know who worked there) hated him, but the silver lining is that I wrote some of my best essays there. The CTO was hopeless too.

It's sad that Elon's waves of fans come to his side, even after the incredibly offensive "pedo diver" episode. He is not the "man of the people" he'd like you to believe. It surprises me that hackers think Big Tech CEOs are on their side

Edit: Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for

I sleepwalk and sometimes have night terrors (where I hallucinate an intruder or spiders on the walls/ceiling). Lately I've been having them almost every day, despite practicing good bedtime habits.

Am I going to have early onset dementia? I wake up almost every morning with a headache from sleep deprivation
