After I figured out this whole Gradle thing (just kidding, I only have a vibe-coded config that works by some miracle) I had dinner and decided it makes more sense to just do the whole thing in Python :P

@Aron Good point! What I would expect is some form of namespacing that would force you to be explicit about where your identifiers are defined. E.g. in Python you would either write `Bar.Foo` or at least do a `from Foo import *` somewhere. This would be especially important, because Gradle examples consistently fail to give proper context (e.g. what plugins are in use).

I they would take the extra mile, they could build in some knowledge about the most common errors (like gcc).

There are many things I hate in Gradle, but among the most offending ones is the fact that it has no notation of where things are declared.

Like `Foo` doesn't work, because you forgot adding the `Bar` plugin, but there is no indication `Foo` being defined by `Bar`, and obviously the error message won't give you any clues either.

gcc (which isn't exactly the champion of helpful error messages) at least tries to give you hints that you'd need `stdio` for `printf()`.

For the side channel crowd:

I wrote about how side channels in serialization can theoretically allow breaking ASLR - with a theoretical worst-case example of how a single round trip of deserializing attacker-controlled data, serializing the result again, and sending the re-serialized data to an attacker could leak an entire pointer:

@molly0xfff I'd do the same if I woke up some day realizing I became a politician somehow.

Plamo Linux comes with an unusual window manager that is definitely not copied from Windows 9x, and doesn't have any icons from Windows 3.x. Geroware Qvwm is all animated, and thus fairly slow on a non-accelerated video.
