Off-topic-ish, but Strudel invokes some feelings for me. My grandmother used to make them, and we loved to help. It was a very, very tedious process (why did I like it???) - it involved stretching up the dough by hand over the course of almost an hour, until the dough was semi-transparent. People that ate her Strudel said that it was one of the most delicious things ever; I never actually liked it, so again, no idea why I liked to help so much 😄

@btowers793 I know strudel but I wasn't aware of that. got any links? 😃

I first saw him writing about it in this blog series https://garten.salat.dev/lisp/parser.html

thank you!

You can tell he's not (yet) a true believer but I was talking to him on Mastodon and gently trying to point him in our direction 😼

He was skeptical because Strudel uses lots of chaining, which isn't very nice in plain Lisp, but then I showed him Clojure threading macros and he was pretty impressed

I've been wondering squint and strudel some time ago... but... didn't try much
