I'm still trying to find a colour scheme I like for my diff tool. I need two different styles: added code should be more prominent than moved code. ANSI colours are extremely limited, so I tried using green / green background. Using bold and bright green seems to work better.

I'm trying mini projects to exercise my new programming language and find gaps. So far I've done fizzbuzz, JSON parsing, and a crude scheme interpreter. Any ideas for additional projects? They need to be well scoped because I keep finding e.g. stdlib crashes.

I'm trying to teach LLMs to yak shave responsibly. It's normal to be programming and notice other clean ups that really ought to be done. I don't want it done in that PR though. Currently experimenting with asking the AI to just create hand-off tasks in the issue tracker.

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.
