“More formally, one could say that X” only states that X is more formal than the preceding, and that some rando could say it, but not that it’s formally correct. This makes it a perfect match if you want to impress with some fancy words, but you’re not like, 100% sure

I believe I fix most of the annoying bugs in Haskell websockets library except for the "not enough bytes" that I still don't have a reliable way to reproduce. If someone does, let me know and I'll fix it!

have been playing with Scheme a bit. people always make fun of the parentheses and I think that's a bit sad because the caadar/caadddr/... stuff is way funnier

Added "proper" support for speaker notes to patat. Pretty happy with how simple the idea is! No need to practice slides anymore, just scribble down some comments and call it a day 😎

The Haskell homepage now lists a single recommended way of installing Haskell. This makes things a lot less confusing for beginners and unblocks many other improvements. Big kudos to @tomjaguarpaw for making this happen!
