It makes sense to a programmer. Zac builds a data structure in memory |
| 22 |
representing the dependency graph of stuff to be emerged. And when an error |
| 23 |
happens, he dumps it to console. If it were perl, it's like he called |
| 24 |
Data::Dumper. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The order changes probably because he adds statements to order the data |
| 27 |
structure. |
