- byorgey: you know, servers migrate in the summer to their ancestral breeding grounds
- emeijer: It must me said on the other hand compiler writers seem to ignore the existence of formal semantics completely, probably because they don't like greek letters.
- byorgey: now we have the pig operator <^(++)^> as well as the robot monkey operator (:[])
- chrisdone: i remember when the internet was black and white and you had to upload web pages back onto the internet when you were done with them
