   after going down the path of writing a whitespace-significant parser for gluumy I'm slowly becoming convinced I need to find a whitespace-less-sigfinicant syntax for this language. it's a god damn nightmare to parse such a thing - lots of state to carry around (eg: okay, so I return if the indentation level ever goes below X, but not when the indentation level immediately returns to wherever it was, in case they skipped a line and have truncate-trailing-whitespace turned on...)

     @klardotsh I considered telling you this but I figured you wouldn't have listened and I wouldn't have blamed you. there's nothing quite like finding out for yourself.

     @technomancy I likely would have kept your advice in the back of my head as I trudged on hoping for the best and ultimately realizing the same outcome, only to toot at you "you told me so" lol. but yes, I do to an extent learn best by falling on my face...

     I highly respect your insights fwiw: you actually came up in convo with a friend the other day from your work on Atreus and Fennel and your recommendations around, eg, ditching modules/etc., as all being awesome :)
