Hey, thanks for sharing interesting blog posts!

Do you have any feelings about not having spaces around =, i.e. key=val? I mean, you do code stuff and everywhere (except bash) key = val is the norm. Just curious.

I don't really personally have a preference either way, I feel like it is standard to use key=val when possible inside of scripts and on cli, and key = val inside of other tooling, but when it comes to preference I try to just do what other folk do
