Place Louis Lépine

The place Louis-Lépine is a square in the 4th arrondissement of Paris on the île de la Cité. It is bounded by the rue de la Cité (east), rue de Lutèce (south), rue Aubé (west), the quai de la Corse (north), and is crossed by the allée Célestin-Hennion. It is named after Louis Lépine, a notable prefect of the Paris police. The Metro station Cité has its only entrance on the square. It is the venue for the Marché aux fleurs Reine-Elizabeth-II, a flower and bird market.

gollark: Haskell is obviously no, Python is quite slow and has different ecosystem problems as well as a remarkable amount of weird inconsistency, JS dependencies break after about 5 months and it's an awful language, Rust is somewhat nice but annoying compared to higher level languages, Clojure is maybe good however Lisp and also Java (well, JVM), and... that's about it?
gollark: OCaml suffers from the same sort of ecosystem problem.
gollark: Thus, I am condemned to eternal suffering and minoteaur will never be finished.
gollark: I'm actually investigating F# as a non-bad language, and while it is in fact an excellent language according to the osmarks.tk™ arbitrary language ratings™, the tooling is æææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆææÆÆÆÆæææææÆÆÆÆÆæææ (very heavyweight and annoying) and much of the ecosystem is too "enterprisey".
gollark: Troubling. Well, you could try running another thread to do the thing.
