| 21:17.52 | ChoHag | In an ideal world, would you replace the simple argc/argv calling convention of main() (and higher-level derivatives), and to what? |
| 21:29.16 | yaMatt | Python has some high level wrappers for args but they're all horrible |
| 21:43.35 | ChoHag | Everything I've seen which attempts to improve with arguments is horrible. |

| 21:44.01 | ChoHag | Did I? DID I? |
| 21:44.04 | ChoHag | Fucking bot. |
| 22:04.27 | yaMatt | heheh |
| 22:04.52 | yaMatt | yeah, I've thought about this problem before, I've never come to a conclusive solution |
| 22:10.48 | ChoHag | I think it's one of those things that obviously should be done better, could have been if done right the first time, but never will be because of tradition and backwards compatibility (and the lack of any convincing need). |
| 22:11.15 | ChoHag | Fun to think what it might be though. |
