@kensanata Fennel community is pretty small and there's not a lot of documentation at the moment... I agree that is hard to start something with it today... 😔

@kensanata Basically, yes 😄

@kensanata AFAIK #fennel can be trasnpiled to JS... It's a fun Lisp dialect with Clojure flavour syntax based on Lua: https://fennel-lang.org/

@phoe Don't worry, I'm a meta-programmer. 😄

@mkf Welcome Michał!

@rose Come on! You can do it! 😼

Ok guys, #functionalcafe is now running #Mastodon 2.9.0!
Have fun!

Ok, I'm going to update #functionalcafe to 2.9 in 5 minutes, brace yourself! 😄

@phoe I started to use TweetDeck from its beginning, there are no other layout for me than multi columns! 😄

@phoe Yeah, me too...

@rose I just tooted about updating the instance. 😄

I'm going to deploy Mastodon 2.9 tomorrow evening. Looks like a huge change, so take a look at this blog post[0]. Cheers.

@kmicu I can also address you to some official sources, like the "Accademia della Crusca" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accademia_della_Crusca) which is an institution of linguists and phylologists of the Italian language. There are also examples of the word "sciavo" as a salute in some works of Carlo Goldoni, a venetian writer in late '700.

@kmicu Well, I'm Italian and I was born and actually live in what once was called the Republic of Venice (I live in Vicenza). We still use the venetian dialect daily, even in business meetings sometimes. Take account that in our dialect most of the time the letters "l" and "v" are mute, so we write "sciavo" but it's pronounced "sciao".

The italian word "Ciao" comes from the venetian "Sciavo", which means slave. So basically, "Ciao" is the equivalent of "Your servant" and I'm the servant of no one.

@bluberrycookie Beata te, qui nel mezzo della pianura padana, dalla finestra entra l'odore di "luame" (letame)... 😞
