Here's the recording of today's Finneas O'Connell virtual meetup.

Great demos! Excited for next month. Thanks everyone who presented and attended.

πŸ₯± Strings are just arrays of numbers.

🧐 Numbers are just arrays of booleans with a sufficiently small word size.

I'm incapable of thinking of programming as a mathematical discipline. Operational semantics or dust!

Eli Mellen 2025-05-29 21:30:15

sorry, Ivan β€” I don’t make the rules.

I’m pretty certain Jack Rusher does.

Booleans should be renamed Georges.

Ivan Reese 2025-05-30 02:36:36

They should be renamed Marys πŸ˜‰

MCP? Nah. MEB!

More seriously, I feel like it would make sense just to call them toggles or alternators, or something generic like that.

Booleans are just quantum mechanical systems with sufficiently small energy thresholds

a boolean is a small number, a number is a boolean with a lot of states, a string is a 256bit encoding of a really long number πŸ‘€

God made the bits, everything else is the work of man.

false = []

true = [[]]
