dotfiles VS onelinerizer

as an emacser, lua is not a big language, you can learn the basics in an afternoon and for configuring nvim with little experience with lua I managed to write just under three hundred lines of lua, its a great language even if I don't want to use it for much more than nvim

There is this script in my dotfiles. https://github.com/jeetelongname/dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/.local/bin/http that I wrote and then promptly forgot about (due to adopting an actual http server) one thing to add is that you can empty a shell command outputs into to variables by putting them in backticks

Very cool. Also, Chelsea Voss did this in 2016 with Python 2 (https://github.com/csvoss/onelinerizer) and did a great talk about it at PyCon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsUxuz_Rt8g) . She also has try/except working, maybe something similar to her solution would also work in Python 3.

Ahhh, allow me to introduce you to Oneliner-izer. Devs smarter than me laugh at your thinking loops cannot be implemented in a single line without semicolons

lambda would like a word

It’s still possible to have it be a single line in Python!! http://www.onelinerizer.com

Outdated but if you downgrade to python 2 or figure something out from the examples: http://www.onelinerizer.com/

Entire python programs can be converted to a single one-line expression.

And then there's also oneline.py, the mother of Python onelineization.

For a similarly awful idea in python, observe the onelinerizer

No, in fact Chelsea Voss made http://www.onelinerizer.com/ which can convert any Python (2) program into one line (without using eval, compile, exec or semicolons). The approaches used are talked about in this PyCon 2016 talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsUxuz_Rt8g

You're welcome.
