TIL Rust has an ambiguity `if Foo {}` -- is `Foo` a value of type bool, or a struct? Rust solves this by defining a grammar production 'any expression except struct literals' and using it in this position.

I've been learning about the fascinating hobby of amateur radio: https://youtu.be/ysOq6ywTSzU It reminds me of chat roulette, except all the users have a license and many of them build their own equipment!

I've realised that I have a much better understanding of the semantics of languages that are value oriented. You avoid murky questions like this: try: raise Exception('') except: return 1 finally: return 2 There's no 'right' answer here when choosing how a PL should work.
