P.S., the body of the parent #toot was created by a simple #shell #function:
function apod {
#Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day info-fetcher
curl -sL 'https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html' \
|grep -m1 "[0-9][0-9]:" \
|sed 's/^/Date: /;

@rl_dane I've been getting into a shell called Elvish. https://elv.sh/
It lets you pipe around structured data like you find in modern programming languages, like arrays, maps, floating-point numbers, and the like. As well as normal POSIX byte streams.
It's not compatible with POSIX shells like Bash though, BTW.
