I’ve been following one of its creators on Twitter[^1]. It’s been incredibly inspiring seeing this game come to fruition from humble beginnings.

The first advice I always give people that are trying to get into Italo is to check out Flemming Dalum's mixes: https://soundcloud.com/flemming/sets/flemming-dalum-mixes

Classic!
Some of my personal favourite, unintelligible Italo tracks:
Sensitive - Driving: https://youtu.be/Qprd11nRO7c
Alex Valentini - Beautiful Life: https://youtu.be/-CbtAaPPLAg
Fockewulf 190 - Gitano: https://youtu.be/kto_Yi0Bec4

There’s an entire genre from the 80s called Italo Disco that contains unintelligible English lyrics. It’s very charming in a way (and is excellent music to listen to while programming).

Implementing conditional conformances alone removed a lot of duplicate code from the standard library. I always like to think that the amount of gyb[^1] files in the source code is a good indicator of how far Swift is in its development.
[1]: gyb, a template processor, is a workaround for features that the standard library needs, but that are not (completely) implemented yet.

Indeed. Feels more like a zip (or convolution) to me.
