Making use of the csv and json format output of duckdb as well and it’s really great!

A new version should arrive this month or the next one. I think it’s worth trying it again then

[vaylian → jiehong]

Cool. Any information on what will be included in the next release?

I just watched an episode of Babylon 5 in which an entire race gets wiped by a virus in that way In a matter of days.

[jiehong]

It very much depends on where "here" is.

At least, it gives impunity to attack others with less fear of retaliation…

> having to add IO effects to all functions

Sound like Haskell, and its Monads. I think it does end up being very similar in the end.

Would you compare effects and monads?

[yunnpp → jiehong]

I came here to ask the same question; did somebody just reinvent monads?

Also note that much of Haskell now uses MonadIO, so you are no longer constrained to IO or having to manually lift IO into your monad, so long as your monad instances MonadIO. This makes code reuse across libraries trivial. I say this because their div() example says that it can only be called from an Exception effect context, which is like old-school IO-everywhere Haskell. It seems to me like they're going to run into the function colour problem.

I heard ocaml had one?

parakeet v3 is also nice, and better for most languages.

[vunderba → jiehong]

The latest build of Handy actually supports Parakeet V3 (among other models) under the covers. Agreed that it's a very solid multilingual model.

yes, I think it's just the US/UK doing that, else people write km/h.

How about:

    file.Close()

Did you see the non handled error here? The compiler doesn’t care.
