Can you please make your substantive comments without putting down others?

If you know more than someone else does, that's great! Please do share some of what you know so the rest of us can learn. But don't put down the other person. That never helps, and it tarnishes your positive contribution in a way that is bad for the community.

Abstraction is at the core of programming. I get your point — but obsessive adherence to baroque complexity has rarely been the M.O. of computer science in rational circles. More often, an elegant simplification that captures the essence has sufficed.

That said, perhaps something like this would be more thematically appropriate:

'O Master of sublime name and great power, O Saturn: Cold, Sterile, Mournful, Pernicious; Sage and Solitary, Impenetrable and Sure; Thou who knowest no joy, bringest prosperity or ruin, deceivest wisely, judgest truly— I conjure thee, Supreme Father, by thy bounty and ancient cunning, to do as I ask: print("hello world")'

Fellow occultist here. Yep! Still a cool idea worth pursuing, though.

things are heating up in the grimoire community…

Absolutely incredible to see a snarky nit on a project like this. Hackernews never fails haha.
