01:17	<jschoi>	I remember there being a W3C document giving style guidelines for DOM API design saying, e.g., “Abbreviations like HTML should be capitalized in functions’ and classes’ names.” Does this sound familiar to anyone?
01:25	<snek>	this? https://www.w3.org/TR/design-principles/#casing-rules
01:31	<jschoi>	snek: Perfect, this is exactly it; thank you.
02:27	<ljharb>	in the new pattern matching, you have to specify `let` for every binding you want? yes, that's the idea. instead of bindings being the default, and identifiers needing a marker, it's the reverse.
02:28	<snek>	that seems backward from practical usage in every language with pattern matching that i've used lol
02:28	<snek>	though it is hard to compare to languages with nominal typing
09:18	<Jack Works>	in the new pattern matching, you have to specify `let` for every binding you want? yes, because we find it's hard to read if we create bindings by default
