Uses

Praseodymium(III) oxide can be used as a dielectric in combination with silicon.[2] Praseodymium-doped glass, called didymium glass, turns yellow and is used in welding goggles because it blocks infrared radiation. Praseodymium(III) oxide is also used to color glass and ceramics yellow.[3] For coloring ceramics, also the very dark brown mixed-valence compound praseodymium(III,IV) oxide, Pr6O11, is used.

gollark: Macron is a pure function from () to (), yes.
gollark: Sure it would. Macron is meant to be very extensible and flexible.
gollark: They're basically the same language. Python is very metaprogramming.
gollark: You should use it for Macron.
gollark: CPython is so weird.
