I wonder if there is a distance function to it, so you can render it in 3D using sphere tracing.

Same. I haven't cried since i was a little kid in the 90's. I've always found strange when people cry at movies and such.

I don't eat breakfast since a long time. I wake up at 11am-12pm and sleep at 3-4am. I just sleep through it. Does that mean that my lunch counts as a breakfast?

You can do that already. Storing arbitrary data in long URL's has been possible since the introduction of URL shorteners (play.rust-lang.org uses this extensively)

I also started with BASIC. First was Commodore BASIC and then QBasic. I remember there was also LOGO, one of the original didactic languages. IMHO, if you want a simple language in the same spirit as BASIC, the closest you can find is Lua.

S-expressions are the better alternative to XML.

I used to work for a private server that shut down in 2010 (Phoenix Wow). It was my first exposure ever to a big code base, teamwork with version control and some reverse engineering. The "cores" were usually forks of the Mangos project (TrinityCore, R2) written in C++ and pretty unstable (uptime was usually only hours). If Rust existed in that era it would've been much better.

Rust version:

    fn main()
    {
        if let Some(arg) = std::env::args().nth(1)
        {
            println!("{}", arg.chars().take(12).collect::<String>()); // chars() iteraters over codepoints
        }
    }

So we'll be able to use Twitter DMs as data storage?

That's why you should never allow loading Lua bytecode. Disallowing it is trivial, don't know why they didn't do it.
