I wrote an SVG parser today.
I didn't want to.
The one I had already was too "clever" by half.
"I know, I'll just modify the passed in string I'm parsing by inserting null terminators in it and storing pointers to various locations in the string."
Yeah, you think you're slick, but what if that string is coming from a .text segment?
Or what if you have a huge file you don't want to load into a string first?

If you ever consider doing what that author did, ping me and I'll help you write a *proper* parser.

I'm pretty clear on the SVG format.

Hopefully, you already had a JavaScript implementation you could bolt onto the SVG!

I tried to organize a professional hide and seek tournament, but it was a complete failure...
Good players are hard to find.

I once took a shot in the dark and tried to organize a laser tag event.
The amateur horseshoe tournament was a fiasco when it was revealed that one of the teams had a ringer.

I admire the way they look at you without looking.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Of all of the new languages and frameworks that pop up every day, I'd like to know how many developers actually use them, other than the people who created them.

I'm currently using Blazor. So far so good.

Cool. Are you using any of the others?

I just finished a Blazor project. I like it, though there was a learning curve, as I came straight from the ASP.NET Framework 4.7.2 world, skipping all the MVC/MVVM rage that came after.
Blazor reminds me of Classic ASP but with C# rather than VB script.

Reminds me of Silverlight ... but I do enjoy Blazor.

 I loved Silverlight, we used it for 20+ bank applications accessed from all over the world, easy to deploy, low bandwidth, wonderful stuff. I still have not forgiven MS for trashing it!

Same... but ... the death of Silverlight was the direction by browsers away from embedded objects... killed off flash too.

Only if you use web assemblies. And I don't. Also, switching between rich client and server application is not that painful even for an existing project. I think Microsoft has learned their lessons with Silverlight.

Silverlight was very close to WPF. Uno[^] is the modern Silverlight.
Blazor United[^] will be very interesting... Can't wait to see a version beyond the current prototype.
