boomers still saying aitch tee tee pee colon forward slash forward slash

I still don't get why the backslash is on keyboards to begin with. I don't think I've ever seen anyone write a slash backward with a pen. And even if folks do, you could've had only one slash anyways. Like, people are going to understand what it means, whether it's / or \.

I guess, it not being used for much else, does at least make it useful for escaping stuff and for Windows to use as path separator.

Okay, that's a clever use of that meme.

I think macOS still supports : for directory delimiting, a legacy of Classic Mac OS, though it has been deprecated for a while.

Windows NT supports both / and \.
