@whitequark I like Shake because it's very good about using the ability of Haskell to create ad-hoc declarative DSLs to give an user a very declarative toolkit while having an escape hatch *right there*. But I have used little of the alternatives either, I rarely have to fiddle around in the bowels of complex build processes and I'm very glad about that.

current status: writing a build system in cmake@whitequark This is why I really enjoy the sentiment behind shake. Because sometimes when it comes to build systems the “simplest” solution means giving the developer access to all of Haskell and telling her to go nuts

(Not saying shake is a good general solution for build systems. It very much isn't. But it beats the bundle of legacy makefiles that could legally drink in most of europe 9 times of 10)

The expectation of becoming a "normal married person with only a job" once you're over 25 is bullshit.@bengesko *me, on the way to becoming the witchy old crone 12-year-old me always dreamed of becoming*: Please tell the rocks and mud Hello from me and to enjoy the sun

Custom railings by Ariha, founded by designer Amitai Ariha, who treats metalwork as a form of sculptural jewelry@Natasha_Jay these are adorable but also fail at one of the two primary purposes of railings *so hard* (allowing to redistribute weight to arms while climbing/descending stairs)
