I made this bot so that users who want to provide a quick summary of the wikipedia article they linked to in their comment can do so just by including a mention of the bot in their comment, and the bot will reply to the comment with the summary.
Currently multiple wikipedia links are not supported.
Rust? eww 🤮. Someone should rewrite it in Java(!)
I heard there’s an improved version around, I think they call it JavaScript? Its name is longer so it stands to reason that it should be much better!
So I know thats a joke but…
With Java 11’s inclusion of ‘var’ I have successfully copied JavaScript code into Java without needing to change anything.
I judge the direction Java is going in
No sorry, I don’t know Java so I can’t easily contribute. There are so many people like me!!! We should write it in python so we can reach a wider audience of contributors. From 13 year olds, career and hobby devs, and academia! Python has many mature frameworks and lots of developers who use them. Another implementation is a great idea!
Let’s rewrite whole Debian Operating system in Python. I mean everything from Kernel, drivers etc all the way to user apps like browser, games, multimedia players etc.
… That also means figuring out how to get python to bootstrap itself. I’m in, just because I want to see how slow it would be lol
That’s called Piefed. Golang and Ruby are still missing though. Maybe there could even be an implementation in C.
