[15:50] <meena> falcojr: you ever done Erlang, or Common Lisp?
[15:51] <falcojr> @meena: a little bit of CL and some clojure back when it was popular for like a year but it's been a while
[15:51] <falcojr> why?
[15:52] <meena> before i had this version of the code, i tried to build retries, and it was terrible
[15:53] <falcojr> build retries?
[15:53] <meena> it was also wrong, because i hasn't realised that I was trying to stop a syslogd that wasn't running, and that was the thing that was failing
[15:54] <meena> retry loop with try and except 
[15:56] <falcojr> I'll reject any PRs with tail recursion ;)
[15:56] <falcojr> but yeah, retry loops can get ugly
[16:16] <minimal> what's the thoughts about the DigitalOcean datasource?
[17:08] <falcojr> I'd like to see if anybody from DO responds to that PR. If they have no use for it, then I think we should remove it, but I don't want to assume it's not used at all.
[19:49] <minimal> falcojr: agreed. Their reply (so far) seems to indicate they're not interested in the DO datasource
