I've been experimenting with multiple link colours on my notes website: https://notes.wilfred.me.uk/HomePage I tried mediawiki-style red for nonexistent links, but it confused my test user. I'm relatively happy with grey here, but I can't think of other sites with different colour links.

Go has an os.Root API that allows you to enforce all paths are subdirectories of a given root. It fixes users accessing foo/../../../etc/passwd and similar. Seems like a really nice solution for a relatively common problem.

I'm experimenting with live-evaluating tests in my programming language project. It's relatively fiddly to hook up a UI for this, but it saves a precious keystroke to run the tests! I'm hoping that it results in more, better tests due to the convenience.

JSON is too small (no comments) and YAML is too big (many string syntaxes, relatively few implementations). TOML is in the sweet spot for complexity, but I agree this syntax is by far the most confusing part. TOML 1.1 improves it at least:
Proposal: Allow newlines and trailing commas in inline tables · Issue #516 · toml-lang/toml
Proposal: Allow newlines and trailing commas in inline tables · Issue #516 · toml-lang/toml
Overall I really like toml and its syntax feels very obvious to me for the most part. The only thing that doesn't is the expclicit cripling of inline tables, i.e. inline tables cannot have newlines...
