I've seen this a lot when someone wants to add "workflow automation" or "scripting" to their app. The most success I'd had is embedding either Lua or Javascript (preferably Lua) with objects/functions from the business domain available to the user's script. This is what games do too. I think it's a great way to dodge most of the work. For free you can support flow control, arbitrary boolean expressions, math, etc.

Out of interest have you managed to get Mermaid graphs rendering outside of a browser?
I was trying to do this a while back so I could do server side rendering of graphs, but it seemed to depend strongly on the presence of a DOM. Couldn’t quite get it working with JS-DOM either.
I've used [mmdc](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli) to generate mermaid images from a Makefile. It looks like it is implemented with puppeteer, so perhaps it doesn't quite fit your request. But if you just want something you can use at the cli, it is great.

Augustus IS Julius Caesar, he quite literally inherited the name (and all of his great uncle's property).
The full quote is this:
>During the late Roman Empire, rulers like Julius Caesar and Nero owned homes in the town, which was known as a destination that aristocrats flocked to for drinking, parties and general hedonism.
Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (aka Octavian) not only gained his great uncle's original property, but he invested quite heavily into property and other public works in Baiae with other emperors doing the same. Baiae was very much an "imperial city" and it definitely kicked off with Octavian.
The city gained much of its notoriety (or negative connotation for extravagance) as time went on.
And the sentence says "like", as in "hey reader, here are these two pretty familiar names who are not only relevant to the city itself, but also can give you an idea of the type of elite class we're talking about." It's a pretty succinct way of putting it and while reinforcing multiple points at once.
So it's not wrong. If you're going to be pedantic, at least be correct.
Nero isn't from the the late Roman Empire either.
Great article! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
I noticed a couple details that seem wrong:
- You are passing `context` to `log_then_get` and `get`, but you never use it. Perhaps that is left over from a previous version of the post?
- In the fiber example you do this inside each fiber:
responses << log_then_get(URI(url), Fiber.current)
responses << get_http_fiber(...)
- Doesn't this leave `responses` with 8 elements instead of 4?
- What does `Fiber.schedule` return anyway? At best it can only be something like a promise, right? It can't be the result of the block. I don't see the answer in the docs: https://ruby-doc.org/3.3.4/Fiber.html#method-c-schedule
- When each fiber internally appends to `responses`, it is asynchronous, so are there concurrency problems? Array is not thread-safe I believe. So with fibers is this safe? If so, how/why? (I assume the answer is "because we are using a single-threaded scheduler", but that would be interesting to put in the post.)

How did JFrog know this github token was so powerful, compared to all the other ones I'm sure their scanner detects? What caused a human to get involved?
And then a higher level is just iterating the array, and doesn't have to think about the promise. Like a Python generator or Ruby enumerator. I see that Javascript does have async generators, so I guess you'd be using that.
The "sort of" is that you can stream the array contents without literally splatting. The caller doesn't have to reify the whole array, but they could.
EDIT: To this not-really-a-proposal I propose adding a new spread syntax, ["foo", "bar", "...$1"]. Then your progressive JSON layer can just deal with it. That would be awesome.
