Hi everyone,

It's time we had The Talk.

The tech world is currently managing its inclusion / exclusion / minorities problem. It's not always pretty. It's never pleasant, but it's necessary.

I've been dragged in an ugly troll around ParisRB. Full transparency is the only way to deal with this, so here it is. I know speed is key, as sad rumors are already spreading.

We'll have to set facts straight:

"Transform a '42,42' string into a 42.42 float."

(format nil "~{~a~^.~}" (sq:split-sequence #\, str))
