Homestuck prepared me too well for this. Fuck.

I'm not a huge fan.

Is there a version of regex with comments?

I mean one would typically insert it as a literal in another language but if there are flexible macros it could be done without any runtime cost/standard reinventing.

Who is this "Source" person, and how is their work so widely referenced and varied?

I think there is something to be said for keeping a language simple, though. The basic semantics of a language should be comprehensible to everyone, let the standard library have all the wacky stuff someone wanted decades ago. (macros - the lisp kind, not the C kind - make this easier)

Async has been stable for a long time. Coroutines are just syntax sugar AFAIK.

What do you mean by "abstract away", and what about it is exclusive to headers?

Eg most languages have something like a trait or interface wherein you can put a list of definitions (optionally with a default aka "inline" implementation) which are then actually implemented elsewhere. This is considered useful by everyone because it allows multiple implementations to be associated with 1 name. They are generally not desired in cases where only 1 implementation will ever be written.

AFAIK the only use case where headers accomplish the same is if they're treated as documentation for an API that could be implemented by any library.

Admittedly certain programming styles benefit immensely from headers, despite the drawbacks to "design as you go" programming.

I liked using Gnome because it was my first introduction to virtual desktops. I am very thankful that it encouraged me to make use of them and to put 1 window per desktop. However, I tried KDE and it turns out that

In a nutshell I liked Gnome because it encouraged me to use KDE in a fun way. The actual thing that made me try KDE was finally getting fed up by their whole "we refuse to implement server side decorations and also a bunch of other basic features/customization stuff middle finger emoji" thing.

It's common for those "other stores" to just be the dev's own store or a store which takes a smaller cut than Valve.

To me, anyways, it seems perfectly expected for a business to want to pass on Valve's charges to the customer. Whether this is harmful depends on whether you focus on the player or developer, and whether the developer responds by making the game cheaper everywhere or more expensive everywhere.
