fun fact:

>>> from amaranth import *
>>> meow = Signal()
>>> meow.name
'meow'

the signal can infer its name from the variable it’s been assigned to. it knows what variable it’s been assigned to.

this isn’t supposed to be possible. it isn’t possible.

but it works anyway.

because amaranth walks through the backtrace, finds the function in which you’re creating the Signal, disassembles its Python bytecode, and finds the right variable to read out its name

i’m not sure if i should be impressed or horrified :neocat_flush:

elect me as Unicode consortium president! I will:

- mandate sitelen pona support in modern operating systems
- implement xkcd’s non-breaking snake proposal
- assign codepoints to the neocats, with ZWJ sequences for the hugging variants to allow for combinatorial variation
- introduce full configurability of the number of eyes in your cyryllic multiocular O
- remove the redundancy between the flags of Poland and Indonesia, factoring it out into a universal “rotate by 180 degrees” codepoint that will definitely not unleash chaos unto the world

the future is in our grasp! vote mei today!
