Project mention: Using the Goland debugger with Air? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2023-01-30

What do you mean by “restore state of the app”? I’m pretty sure that’s not a claim of air in the first place

z

1 10 0.8 Go

Simple task runner (by zakuro9715)

Project mention: A statically typed scripting language that transpiles to Posix sh | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-03-25

looks like the task runner part [1] has unfortunate name overlap with the family of programs that include z.lua[2] or zoxide [3] or z.sh [4].
Not really that big of a deal, I just like tracking command line apps naming because it is an interesting exercise of being short, intuitive, and unique. When you decide a single letter is your name, surely you are going to run into this.
