Project mention: Ask HN: Is there any programming language that doesn't have WTFs? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-21
After reading this page:
https://github.com/satwikkansal/wtfpython?tab=readme-ov-file#-needles-in-a-haystack-
I wonder if there's any language that thought about all edge cases and avoided exceptions and such gotchas at the design level.
JS is notorious for such WTFs but even Python—which I've used for over a decade now—has surprised me countless times.
Is Haskell also like that? How about Lisps (CL, Racket, Clojure, Scheme, etc.)?

I am aware of Docusaurus, since I have seen other documentation and some of our course material site built on it. Under the hood it uses React so I was familiar with it. But this documentation website was written in Python. Although I'm not a fan of Python, it intrigued me, since not only it is written in python, more specifically using Sphinx which utilizes reStructuredText as its markup language. There was Makefile in it as well. A lot of new things but it looked very interesting.

Project mention: Ask HN: How do you manage and version control small structured data? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-11
So I work in a heavily regulated field and often come across the need to document all kinds of semi-structured data like requirements, risks, test-cases, etc. Usually these objects need to have a unique ID and relate to each other. They also need to be somehow version controlled.
There are some people using https://github.com/doorstop-dev/doorstop to record this kind of data in a plaintext (YAML) format and store it in git. I think that is really neat for this kind of small scale handcrafted data. But I would like to have a more user friendly frontend for that kind of data manipulation.
It feels like every company has this kind of data somehwere. And for most situations the data is small enough to not warrant a full blown database.
So my question: Do you have any neat workflows and tools for managing small scale semistructured data in a version controlled way?
