grex is a really impressive tool that generates a small regex for a given set of string inputs: https://github.com/pemistahl/grex#53--examples-top- There's a live instance you can play with at:
GitHub - pemistahl/grex: A command-line tool and Rust library with Python bindings for generating regular expressions from user-provided test cases

I'm writing a Path type in my programming language but not sure what methods belong on a Path. Should I have some_path.read_string() or fs::read_string(some_path) instead? I love .method() for IDE completion, but I don't want Path to be cluttered. I'm also trying to avoid UFCS.

What's the best string representation of a function? Comparing with other PLs: Python: <function __main__.add_one()> JS: [Function: addOne] Clojure: #function[user/add-one] Scheme: #<procedure add-one (x)> I'm currently thinking about <fun add_one() foo.gdn:123>

I've been iterating further on how Garden shows type errors. For types in the standard library, I'm now showing "a String" but "an Int". I'm also doing basic syntax highlighting of the code excerpt. What do you think?
