Hey, thanks again for the talk and for answering my fork bomb question with a live demo!

Thanks for your question and glad that you enjoyed it!

I thought you handled the question really well. To be honest the whole talk was excellent. I'm gutted I missed it in person.

Thanks! Murex talk when??? :)

haha I can't present nearly as well as yourself but maybe one day.

It's not easy to present though. I know on HN we see a lot of very clever people give some well executed presentations and it's sometimes easy to forget how much preparation and courage it takes to perform like that. And it's great to see how engaged people were with the content too.

Sorry, this is less of a question and more just comment of appreciation.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment the appreciation :)

There were a lot of aspects of this talk that I thought were really great. The willingness to try something unscripted, diving into the code repo live (e.g. to show where fuzzing is used), and the discussions of the reasoning behind the design choices. Great job @xiaq. This really makes me want to try elvish out, and I usually am quite skeptical of new shells.

Thanks! Glad that the talk is working as a marketing pitch for Elvish :)
