Why are you even mentioning Pythong in this context? Don't you know we are talking about the superiourity [sic] of Fortran 77? You know that Lua also has operator overloading, right? Or are you too busy snogging Kruger and Dunning, both at the same time? Why are you constantly posting about your snogging adventures in alt.sex.bon- dage.sco.unix- -- and what is the minus doing at the end? /I/ know, and knew before, that Lua has operator overloading. It's im- plemented with metatables -- unrelated to the recent meta adventures of the Meta C.E.O. -- and didn't think to mention it in the context of For- tran 77. So please, enlighten us about your snogging adventures! -- Johann | email: invalid -> com | http://www.myrkraverk.com/blog/ I'm not from the Internet, I just work there. | via Easynews.com https://bsky.app/profile/myrkraverk.bsky.social | for ( ;; ) _:;
