Hey Mike, thanks 🙏
The modular is pretty settled right now, but I did pick up a Moog Model D and a Novation AFX Station (Bass station) — mostly so I could say: “That’s no Moog… it’s a Bass Station!” — thinking I’m funny

It's doing it again. The check-marks are there. The module is listed as Enabled in the Modules tab.

Guess which of the highlighted breakpoints @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social hits first in Debug configuration? That's right, none of them. It just point-blank refuses to stop at breakpoints. Making the whole platform next to useless. Thanks @jetbrains.com for continually making Rider worse and worse 😡

Always good to warn your future self! Here's one of mine, not quite as extreme but warning my future self to not beat himself up over what he finds :D

Finally, you can use named parameters, which then looks like pattern-matching.

NOTE: This does not give you exhaustiveness checks when pattern-matching. If you want to make sure that every case is definitely handled then you'll need to fall back to abstract/virtual interfaces (the OO way), or add a `Match` method that does it for you:

DUs are being added by the C#-lang team, but it's a ways off. So, in the meantime you can simulate them with records.
Note the private constructor, that stops anybody else from inheriting from `Maybe<A>`, and the `sealed` records stop anybody inheriting from the case-types.

I sometimes despair at the #Rider debugger. I wonder under what 'context' the name 'initial' would be valid, if not when you've hit a breakpoint where the variable is in-scope 🤦

This is what my parse function looks like, the `BlockParser.parse` function is the Parsec stage:
