and tell me, general, in this great new language, may i use async as an identifier? - yes. and also as a keyword. except in some cases. and how will we delimit our statements, general? - with semicolons. except sometimes. and what will threads be called, sir? - nothing. we will have no word for that

[ai banalities] on balance i wish that ai (llms with a harness) were not a thing. but i have given it a good go this year, i do currently find it useful, and i suspect it will survive a crash if and when that happens. a vexing situation
