🚀 Behold the epic tale of Janet's #PEG #module, where the author heroically excludes regular expressions like they're yesterday's news. 💥 Marvel at the labyrinth of #parsing magic that claims to be more readable, but only if you have a PhD in arcane text processing. 📜✨

bakpakin.comHow Janet's PEG module worksAn in depth explanation of pegs and how they work.

#janet‘s Parsing Expression Grammars are really great. But the whole language is really very beautiful, similar to #clojure but in some places even more elegant, in others less so. But it is an interesting alternative. It's fun to play with it 

Outgoing Treasury Secretary #Janet #Yellen is announcing that she's planning to take "#extraordinary #measures" to save the U.S. economy beginning on January 21
— the day after Donald Trump will officially begin his second term in office.
Politico reported Friday that Yellen made the announcement in a letter to congressional leaders
The letter comes as the United States prepares to reach the ❌statutory limit on borrowing
-- which Yellen wrote last month would happen between January 14 and January 23.
She warned in that letter that the Department of the Treasury would need to take "extraordinary measures" in order to avoid a debt default, should Congress fail to raise the debt ceiling before then.
⚠️In her latest letter, Yellen said she would begin taking those "extraordinary measures" next Tuesday,
which will reportedly include
💥tapping into federal retirement funds that aren't immediately needed to pay out benefits to retired postal workers and other federal employees.
She also plans to temporarily
💥suspend investments into those funds in order to keep the U.S. current on its debt service obligations.
"The period of time that extraordinary measures may last is subject to considerable uncertainty,
including the challenges of forecasting the payments and receipts of the U.S. Government months into the future,"
she wrote in her January 17 letter to Congress

Alter Falter. Habe die #AdventOfCode Aufgabe für heute durch. In #Janet.

Es hat Spaß gemacht, aber auch stark geknirscht. 😅

Wieder in Lisp zu denken war schon schwer, dann aber auch noch in Clojure - puh.

Der Code sieht grottig aus, aber funktioniert. Vielleicht gehe ich gleich noch mal drüber.

The IRS has 👍collected $1.3 billion from high-wealth tax dodgers since last fall,
the agency announced Friday, crediting ❇️spending that has ramped up collection enforcement through President Joe Biden’s signature climate, health care and tax package signed into law in 2022.

Treasury Secretary #Janet #Yellen and IRS Commissioner #Danny #Werfel traveled to Austin, Texas, to tour an IRS campus and
announce the latest milestone in tax collections as 🆘Republicans warn of big future budget cuts for the tax agency if they take over the White House and Congress.

Yellen said in a speech in Austin that in 2019, 🔥the top one percent of wealthy Americans owed more than one-fifth of all unpaid taxes, “leaving ordinary Americans to shoulder the burden.”

⭐️“To fix this, we’ve channeled IRS funding toward significant investments to combat tax evasion,” she said.
