I looked at the post again and they do talk about recursion for looping (my other reply talks about map over an iterator). Languages that use recursion for looping (like scheme) use an optimization trick called 'Tail Call Optimization' (TCO). The idea is that if the last operation in a function is a recursive call (call to itself), you can skip all the complexities of a regular function call - like pushing variables to the stack and creating a new stack frame. This way, recursion becomes as performant as iteration and avoids problems like stack overflow.

Most websites still use standard back ends with RSS support. Even static site generators also do it. The only difficulty is user discovery.

Conduit might be an option. It's still under development. It's also lightweight due to Rust (instead of Python as in Synapse).

Asciidoc is a good example of why everything should be standardized. While markdown has multiple implementations, any document is tied to just one implementation. Asciidoc has just one implementation. But when the standard is ready, you should be able to switch implementations seamlessly.

It really needs to significantly improve its live update capability. Typst is more capable in that regard.

Markdown and LaTeX are meant for entirely different purposes. It's somewhat analogous to HTML vs PDF. While it's possible to write books with Markdown, it's a vastly inferior solution compared to latex or typst (for fixed format docs like books).

Nobody knows about unifiedpush. Last time I checked, their Linux dbus distributor also wasn't ready. There has to be a unified push to get it adopted.

Can you tell us what you find difficult while using Linux? (After the installation).

PS: Not a rhetoric. Just trying to understand the friction.

"The inside of the network stay anonymous" sounds like they are talking about internet access to the internal network.

Commonmark leaves some stuff like tables unspecified. That creates the need for another layer like GFM or mistletoe. Standardization is not a strong point for markdown.

Typst is a typesetting format - an alternative to LaTeX. Asciidoc is more of a competitor to markdown.
