That is, you can implement something that seems like it is fully correct according to the book (implementing even closures and scopes correctly), but it is still not correct.</p><p>Saying more would require more space. Though, I&#39;d be curious, based on your intuition, what you think this oversight might be.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> when evaling BSP&#39;s, my minimum bar was to be able to just run &#39;Hello, World&#39; using an example project. Eliminated over half of the candidates right out of the gate, and a huge time saver in the long run!</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> hey, it&#39;s not XML in Tcl! *resigned giggles*</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I just had to decipher an API at work for which documentation is super sparse and it took me a bit to realize they intended me to serialize JSON into a string inserted as the value for a JSON key &quot;data&quot;.</p><p>It didn&#39;t work when I sent straight JSON, I thought it had just been printed weird for the docs, it had to be double-enveloped to work.</p>

I could just Not be bothered to use eclipse tooling.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> and I thought ascii 1s and 0s full of logic analyzer waveform data inside a CDATA block returned by a VBScript command tunneled over SCPI was bad</p>

<p>this sdk is absolutely vile by the way. top 3 worst vendor abominations i&#39;ve ever touched</p>

<p>yo dawg i heard you like xml so i put xml in your xml</p>
