The first [[tech meet]]. We took these notes together in [[riseup pad]], the meeting took place in [[Lion's internet office]].

= Participants

• Me
• Lion Kimbro
• Ciprian Craciun

= What has been happening (Lion)

• Left [[star community]] due to the divergence of interests
• Sacred vs Divine ** Sacred is passive ** Divine is something happening (driven by God, sometimes) ** Holy books are both
• Biosphere 2 project
• [[The Glass Bead Game]] by [[Hermann Hesse]] ** Timur has read it, others have not

= Software engineering in eastern Europe universities

• the topic of //weird spaces//: {

someobject.method (arg1, arg2, arg3) .method2 ()
someobject.method ( arg1, arg2, arg3 ).method2 ()
someobject
.method(arg1, arg2, arg3)
.method2()

}

• the language of choice in RU is C++;
• Timur would have preferred C, Python or Scheme;
• Ciprian's bash style (no functions, the script calls itself, and the function //bodies//, are actually contained as arms inside a big case;)
• both Lion and Ciprian think that perhaps Basic (or Logo) is a better introductory language;
• [[https://www.hmc.edu]] is the college Lion went to;
• man pages distribution?
• embed source code with go:embed — [[https://github.com/volution/z-run/blob/development/sources/embedded/build.go]]
