There was this beautiful little time period where async/await was basically just that: resumable functions. I abused it to implement generators.

Do you happen to still have a link to this software?

Not plate, unless at very close range and at a very favorable angle. Mail, sure.

A traditional roguelike, in the line of TGGW/Cogmind/Nethack/Brogue/DCSS, would probably be nice. Not really a "slow strategy game", granted, but the fact that animations/colors aren't necessary makes it a good fit IMO

A FORTH gui would be an interesting project as well

Nope, since Self is a declaration and not a field it won't take up memory.

I don't think this is the place to air out all the dirty laundry from the past two years, so I'll just say this: since the time I've joined the site (three years ago), I haven't seen a single ban that wasn't warranted, be it due to a single incident of flouting the site rules or a pattern of behavior.

It is true that the moderators are fairly strict regarding behavior that wouldn't be punished here (such as abusing flags to down vote), but I don't see that as a necessarily bad thing.

Regarding the thread you linked, I'll agree it was the admin's fault for writing the passive-aggressive banner that led to that (well-respected) user leaving.

Shelob is not a primordial being. She is one of the children of Ungoliant, who is herself a fallen Ainur.
