Was "boolshit" deliberate, or just a typo? For marketing hype about computer programming languages, it seems like the perfect term. So, whether deliberate or accidental, well done!

I'd consider an accurate description of the precedence for the boolean operators. They're treated as equivalent to their arithmetic cognates (~ == not, * == and, + == or) forcing you to use excessive parentheses to separate terms. Notably, this is something that Wirthian styled Ada didn't copy.
wow, my brain autocorrected that typo when I read it. maybe because i agree with the sentiment. i thought you were the weird one until i went back to re-read it. but now that you pointed it out, i do like it and think i'm going to be adding it to my vocabulary
