    Very nice question to close off the week.

    And kudos for mentioning the default language, so there's less whining in the discussion 😀

    There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Nice one. Will probably never use it though 😀

    Oh, you might just get caught up with it quite by accident. It used to be true, and may...
