As of right now, I've not heard anything.

Also as of right now, I'm strongly leaning towards voting #Gren at all future voting opportunities, since they most closely represent me.

However, should #YourParty, show me a good manifesto, I might be swayed.

I talked about fuzz testing in #gren. Pardon my grogginess.

#testing #tdd

Good morning. I made a video about how to do #tdd in #gren

How things are going in today's #Gren explorations:

New Gren Twigs video! This one shows you how to use the stdio streams (reading input and printing to the screen). I apologize I did not have time to make a shorter video.

Uh, no, #Claude, I actually meant #Gren.

> In Elm (I assume you meant Elm rather than "gren"), you can dynamically apply function arguments in several ways.

The latest version of #gren is now available in the #nix (unstable) package repository!

https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=gren

I've started lazily including #Gren variants of the demos in my elm-patterns repo (github.com/ethagnawl/elm-patterns). It's been quite pleasant and I wish I hadn't put it off for so long.

I've only encountered a few breaking changes and they've all struck me as very sound and practical. In particular, removing tuples and leaning on records was a great choice.

Shout out to the @gren_lang team and community! I'm looking forward to carrying on and experimenting with some BE use cases, too.

Just got way easier to use #Turso with #Gren thanks to Joey Bright's new package: https://github.com/joeybright/gren-turso

Instead of working on bugs for the upcoming #gren release, I made a dumb idle game for me and my kids. Nobody tell @robinheghan

The next Gren Twigs is up. It's the final entry on building a cowsay-powered pomodoro timer on the command line. In this one we add the ability to enter a custom amount of time, which means we are managing form fields and multiple screens in a gren-tui app for the first time. Wild and crazy stuff.

The next Gren Twig is out. It's part 3 of building a pomodoro timer on the command line with gren-tui. In this one we add a pause feature and some color.

We need to stop Premier Ford’s Power Grab

Premier Ford promised to protect Ontario. But now that he’s been elected, he is already breaking that promise. His latest bill would give his friends special permissions to ignore laws that protect us and our environment.

No guardrails.
No accountability.

We can’t afford to let him and his cabinet get away with this.

Kevin Thomason writes:

It has been an unprecedented week as Doug Ford has tried to ram through the horrific Bill 5 while all the opposition MPPs have worked together to do everything in their power to stop it, join the Kitchener Rally Against Bill 5 on Saturday at 12:00 noon, participate in upcoming webinars and events, speak up against Bill 17’s devastating impacts on our communities, learn about the latest very disappointing Hidden Valley loss to developers in Kitchener, the Greenbelt Scandal continues with more concerning e-mails found, and more. Here’s the latest:
1) Bill 5 Pushback Grows – There are more protests, more groups speaking out. and actions against Bill 5 the “Protect Ontario By Unleashing Our Economy Act”, a dangerous attack on our rights, environment, and democracy. First Nations, environmentalists, civil liberties organizations, labour, municipalities, and even Amnesty International have come out against Bill 5.
It was fantastic to see all opposition MPPs working together to do everything they could stop the bill this past week including an impressive filibuster at the Standing Committee meeting until midnight on Wednesday night. While the Ford government is promising amendments to try to quell First Nations concerns, Indigenous Leaders say it is too little, too late and frankly the government has made only ineffective, minor, superficial amendments as “window dressing” while completely ignoring the vast majority of concerns raised by tens of thousands of concerned citizens so far.
Protests/Rallies — There have been large protests including hundreds of people in Guelph last weekend. Please plan to join the Kitchener Protest Against:
Bill 5 — Sweeping powers to fast track development, bypass environmental protections, create law-free economic zones, ignore archeology, and violate Indigenous rights.
Bill 6 — Harsher penalties for drugs and trespass targeting homelessness with punitive measures rather than support.
Bill 17 — Prohibiting needed Green Development Standards, limiting development charges, enabling new MZO’s, encouraging dangerous inexpensive water and wastewater systems.
Date/Time: Saturday, May 31st at 12:00 noon
Location: Carl Zehr Square on King Street at Kitchener City Hall

Hey the next Gren Twigs is up about making a pomodoro timer on the command line with gren-tui. In this one we make the cow start counting down our pomodoro timer. Exciting stuff.
