Like when predicate languages such as Prolog was the big thing: If you didn't understand some code, 99 of 100 Prolog experts would resort to explaining the Prolog interpreter's algorithmic, sequential processing of the statements.

The language (or rather, I suppose, the compiler? not sure what to call it, it seems more like an interpreter of sorts) has some interesting ideas in it, but time will tell if it catches on. Too immature of a project for me to bother with ATM (and besides, I'm not super into pure functional languages).

A subroutine is really a function returning void. That is how it is defined and linked in FORTRAN on all the platforms I've used. If pigs could fly, just imagine how good their wings would taste! - Harvey

I'm over it. I just decided to continue writing the wrapper around this mess. :) Real programmers use butterflies

not afraid, but when you only need to make some regex once a year or less, It generally takes a bit to remember the all rules correctly to get the desired results. long regex's can be very cryptic, so I generally tend to break it down with lots of notes about each section for the future me that might have to modify it.

Thanks, that was the major step for this issue. Afterwards, I could figure out the var tmp = intersections.Map(_intersection => m_Geometry.TryGet...ToList() monstrosity abolishing the foreach(... intersections). Functional programming feels odd when trying it for the first time. Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Call me a cynic - but I don't need developing software to be an experience or even a joyful experience, I just want it to be straightforward. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” ― Christopher Hitchens
