Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

isn't that just normal usage? ..or, did I just whoosh and you were sarcastically saying that?

[–] fruitcantfly@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It is normal usage. Though personally I'd probably make another "main" function, to avoid declaring a bunch of global variables

[–] nickwitha_k 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah. I like using main() that way too. It's usually just a high-level function that handles globals relevant to running in standalone and calling other functions to do work.
