That second link is the the sort of thing I wish I saw more being pushed as an example of QT. Looks great!

exactly this.
I've realized recently that (for me) mouse interactions come more naturally for more exploratory or creative work. I'm happy with my mouse! and yet for straight coding, or writing, I would rather keep my hands on the keyboard. It's fun to get good with all the tools(toys)!

Came here to say similar. In particular dhall does allow scripting (functions etc.) but is non-Turing-complete as a feature. This seems like a particular sweet spot to me as it allows for more dynamism than data formats like json/yaml while constraining the scope sensibly.
It also has very nice bindings with haskell and nix

How does this compare to something like Buildbot (https://buildbot.net/) - I share a lot of your frustrations with Jenkins and this is where we landed.

I've used https://www.letsgaze.com/#/ a few times which worked pretty well. Only works with files you have access to, or freely available youtube content though.
I agree that it's a neat idea. I'm sure the content problem is why there aren't more attempts at the moment.

Just commenting to say thanks for mentioning the bongos! My house-mates thought I was mad when I bought them as a student, but it quickly turned into a house favourite. I would still recommend them to this day if you can get your hands on them.

Fair enough - someone was telling me about the Supreme Master thing recently, must admit I had largely ignored it up until that point as just part of the bizarre Loving Hut experience. Thanks for the links, definitely some food for thought!
