    An interactive interpreter prompt is essential

    A really solid library ecosystem

    Great HTTP and JSON support with minimal hassle

    I wish Python had multi-line lambdas (though I can't imagine a good syntax for them)

    I hate how complicated it is to bundle compiled C dependencies in Python packages

    I'm jealous of JS tagged template literals - f-strings aren't quite as good, they're missing the tags

    If I whittle down the things I dislike about Rust, ultimately it's that it has a young ecosystem that's a little bit too under resourced.

    Pavlov: the dogs salivate when I ring a bell

    Me: weird. Why?

    Pavlov: they connect two unrelated events due to repeated conditioning

    Me: haha stupid animals

    Pavlov: the experiment took 69 days

    Me: nice

    @aaronpk Really good, human-readable documentation; open package management; a short time to first run without proprietary tooling.

    @aaronpk Huh, that's a tough question. Functions and some kind of module-like construct as units of code reuse, and... I guess a syntax for comments?

    It's easier for me to list features I think other people might consider mandatory that I don't think are critical, like objects, or loops, or Turing-completeness 😁

    Or to list features I wish every language had but can't insist on, like type inference, sum types (aka "tagged unions"), and closures.

    - robust community support and adoption
    - good impedance match with problem space
    - excellent support tooling

    note that none of those are about the BNF.

    I really hope IndieAuth takes off at some point and allows us to privately host our own decentralized and federated authentication.

    oh wow. During a discussion I had to share my old post on why OAuth2 isn't an authentication protocol http://www.cloudidentity.com/blog/2013/01/02/oauth-2-0-and-sign-in-4/. I use everyauth as example there, but apparently they lost the domain... now the link leads to "Top rated toilets and how to find them" #reassignableURLs

    I'm nervous that a bunch of stuff is going to be adopted on the fediverse that breaks the underlying paradigm while still not providing the protection we need soon enough.

    But I'm also worried that I can't manage to explain my alternative proposal fast enough. :(

    I feel like that about a number of things right now; prioritizing is hard. But I guess this really probably is fairly urgent right now.

    It might seem futile, but the movement back to blogging and smaller networks would accelerate if everyone with a huge audience stopped complaining about Facebook (without offering solutions) and started advocating for the IndieWeb or http://Micro.blog directly.

  • Sometimes I discover someone new who is advocating for a more distributed web… but all they do is tweet. What? Don’t wait for the government to break up Facebook or a magic protocol that will solve all the web’s problems. Start blogging and we’ll build the future from there.

    Just finished the MatPat panel about analytics. Amazing stuff. Two big takeaways:

    Click through rate is THE MOST IMPORTANT.

    Start asking for people to watch ANOTHER video on your channel rather than subscribe. It’s more valuable to have people binge your content than to sub.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
