C++ lets you assign variables with <%%> in case your parents were killed by an equals sign.

TIL about bat! Looks awesome!

Look into batman too. Its like bat but for man pages

Bat is really cool - I share your enthusiasm! As far as I remember, the repo for bat has a bunch of example use cases that I hadn't thought of, fyi!

I have the perfect module to use this once. Most people will see it and will figure out that it is doing what it should, but no one can change it because the file will be LFS locked like 99% of the time.

What is happening there?

Is it about templates? I can't find any reference for that syntax.

Oh, I didn't know about digraphs at all. C++ is a really big language.

And wow, that's a well hidden footgun.
