I don't like using the body. GET's are easily shareable, bookmarkeable, etc, (even editable by humans). etc. thans to query strings. I rather have a GET with better (shorter) serialization for parameters and a standarized max-length of 16k or something like that.

Honestly, a port to a modern architecture, with more standard looking characters (like using # for comments instead of ~ and \n for newline instead of ! ) would be pretty interesting... It's amazing what that people used to be able to do with such limitations. 2k! I can barely make a CRUD app fit in 2G

As projects get bigger, things might get sadder. I worked at a certain large SF company that uses a lot of ruby, so most development was repl-based too. But this wasn't a boon but a curse, as the total lack of data format guarantees on the very large, critical monorepo meant a lot of uncertainty. What does this method really do? I guess we have to run it! It worked for this specific input... but will it work for any and all inputs that get to this data path? Let's hope so, because we aren't sure! The company spent massive amounts of money on servers for parallel testing, just so that the suite could run in less than a few weeks. And when you need a large test suite to have a chance, most of the advantages of the REPL vs a compiler have been lost.
Eventually they did the same thing you can do in common lisp: Add so much metaprogramming that doublechecks invariants, it might as well be a compiled language.
So, paraphrasing:
Any sufficiently complicated Ruby program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Java
Look to Hispanic countries. They've been dealing with this for a very long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_naming_customs
Generally, if a parent has two surnames, the child will take the first of them, so you normally will have two surnames, the first or only from your father, and the first or only from your mother. (Note that this algorithm does eliminate matrilineal names, because a child will effectively be receiving their two surnames from their grandfathers.
From what I understand, if the genetic lineage is particularly elite, you might keep more. My wife grew up in Latin America among the Hispanic elite, and apparently some of her friends had more than two surnames because their bloodlines were extremely blue and they wanted to preserve reference to the lineage.
This is a bit like how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's kids have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. The former is a cadet branch of the German House of Hesse, and the latter is a rebranding of the extremely German Haus Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha (and of course right there is a triple-barrel name, Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha.
