Zig is a very well thought out, pragmatic language.

I really want to use it more, but I cannot get past the syntax.

For example, method chaining:

    std.fs.cwd().openFile("does_not_exist/foo.txt", .{})
The aesthetic of a language is really important to me, and method chaining that allows for lines like this somehow doesn't feel right.

> One thing I am wondering though is if there is a certain types of literature that the brains reacts in a more positive or less than observation way. For example, does our brain engage more when we’re reading a technical literature review moreso than if it was a novel?

I've often wondered this also. It would be interesting to quantitatively determine the effects of reading fiction versus non-fiction material on the mind.

From what I understand, strokes are caused by the same thing heart attacks are - atherosclerotic plaques, and APs are caused by high blood cholesterol - APs are literally constituted of cholesterol/foam cells. Has the consensus changed?

I've always thought that grandmothers babysitting their grandchildren is somewhat unfair - in effect they're raising kids twice. They should have a rest in their later years.
