As I represent a unique intersection of Christian, linguist/philologist, and computer geek, this was clearly designed to appeal to my precise demographic.
Now, I don't program anymore, but according to the FAQ, that does not disqualify me from enjoying this project!
I believe the gauntlet has been thrown down here. The challenge is not merely to read it, but to write it fluently enough to develop nifty code. Just read the FAQ! And Paleo-Hebrew fluency may not be the foremost obstacle — the numbering system is arcane and downright hostile to Westerners!
Just make sure that no other variables like any blasphemous globals are declared before the one true declaration. (Returning false anonymous) nested functions, which may cause side effects, seem necessary unless the interpretation is such that the only implementation is near to the one combinator basis https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.19.....
Personally I find it hilarious that apparently in more than one case the common Hebrew spelling of YHWH, יהוה, was wrongly understood or just misspelled as πιπι (pee-pee) in Greek texts.
That also then generates a reason to try to avoid writing these names unnecessarily, because using them unnecessarily increases the chance that someone will deface them, or creates extra material that has to be disposed of carefully.
The "rule" or concept appears in BT Shabbat 115a, which directs that holy writings in other than the <Hebrew and Greek languages> (Targum) require "Genizah" that is, preservation: https://www.jewish-funerals.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/J.... This appears to be in Hebrew and remaining electronic leaves nothing to bury.
Gematria number system is a comparatively modern invention. Researching the old weights, measures, and coins of Israel show good evidence that the Egyptian number system was used, which is a somewhat decimal numbering system. Would be very cool if this language used the ancient Egyptian number system instead of this new-fangled gematria stuff. Then the numbers would be visually very distinct as well.
For me the Sabbath is a recompile with bug fixes. When I'm GCing every night, at least someone can ring me in an emergency. The phone is off for Sabbath.
And I'm not joking about the bugfixes. A day off of _everything_ is a great way to reflect on the past six days, and to learn from them. I'm certain that my ostensibly-six-day-week is more productive than my seven-day-week ever was.
I incanted: “ROS-AILE-KAPHILUTON-MIRAKOI-KALANIEMI-TSHANA-KAI-KAI-EPHSANDER-GALISDO-TAHUN…” and just as I finished, my timer reached zero and told me I was finished, for today, free until tomorrow morning crashed down on me and I started the same thing all over again.
I was a little nervous about the performance aspects of a scripting language, but Sapphires on Paths just made getting to an MVP universe so much easier
