Gotta try, the website seems amazing
when people have too much free time
Cool to see that after Cotowali was sadly abandoned due to lack of funding. Please, fund the FOSS projects you use!
Late to the party. Idris had a bash backend (i.e. you could compile Idris to bash), and it's already bit rotted with new Idris versions.
I hope the language is at least as cool as Idris.
I checked the docs, and I'm a bit confused with one thing. They show that you can capture the stdout of a command into a variabe, but they never show stderr being captured. How would that work?
Like this: โโโ $mv file.txt dest.txt$ failed { echo "It seems that the file.txt does not exist" } โโโ
Knowing if a command failed and capturing stderr (which contains stuff like error messages) are not the same thing.
Cool website
Why and where would this be useful?
