Crafting Interpreters: Calls and Functions

I upvoted (and vouched, and starred the repo – thanks for sharing!), but I'm guessing you were downvoted because the first 2 grafs are easily misinterpreted as falling into the "I didn't read, but why is this thing necessary?" trope.

Deleting the 2nd graf would probably change the perception; it doesn't add any insight, and honestly, no one expects you or any commenter to have read the entire book before remarking on it.

Thank you.

The point of the message as a whole and the code I shared was the opposite, we need more of this. I included the second paragraph as a disclaimer, I didn't read the book because I don't read much these days but I've heard great things about it.

Nah, there's just no way to protect yourself against this these days. I did absolutely nothing wrong here. But if you're looking for trouble and something to project your self loathing on, you'll find it. Ask and you shall receive.
