      Linux uses forward slash. Windows uses backslash. Because some dude 45 years ago wanted to make it look different from UNIX.

          They did! And I weirdly kind of miss them for the entirely non-logical reason that they looked elegant.

          Don’t get me wrong, I adapted in about 3 seconds when I made the switch to Mac OS X 25 years ago, but I irrationally kinda miss them just a tiny bit.

            Code in Rust and you can get double colons for your library path imports!

        A whole fight in characters:
        / \
        X
        | |
        \ /

        • /
          X
