The Problem

CPAN uploads are declining. Part of this is the challenge of figuring out how to write a new module, navigate PAUSE, and release it. Many languages make it very easy to share new open source code with their community and that support is often in the core language.

Go Example

To publish a module in Go:

$ go mod tidy

	I'm getting more pushback on #Mastodon that #GenAI doesn't provide any real value that traditional software can't provide cheaper or more reliably. <voice type="Samuel Jackson">Allow me to retort.</voice>

	I'll try not to be too technical. Further, this is based on real work I did for a client and not something I just read about in a blog post.

	Consider search engines. For "traditional" databases (RDBMs and NoSQL), you might have a search engine for videos. A user types in "videos about cats." With stemming and stop words, that becomes "cat."

	What the heck is "stemming" and "stop words"? Stemming is the process of taking a word and reducing it to a common form. For example, consider the words run, runs, running, ran, runner, runners. All of those might be stemmed down to the word "run". This way, if someone searches for "videos about running", everything which has those words is a candidate for being returned in search results.

	Stop words are different. Stop words are common words like "the," "is," "and,"

	This is a minimum test case for a bug in some code I'm writing. It's for a custom text editor (hobby

	The intent is that if I select some text and apply Bold formatting (for example, by hitting "ctrl-b"),
	it will toggle the formatting. Specifically, it should remove the bold formatting if all of the selected
	text is bold. Otherwise, it will apply the bold formatting.

	However, it won't remove the bold formatting.
