The Zoom install package for macOS is mad. Rather than actually using the installer to install things, it does everything in the preinstall script. That's bonkers, and also means that the system won't have a list of the files it installed, because it's doing it using shell script.

The script appears to install two items, namely:

/Applications/zoom.us.app
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ZoomUsPlugIn.plugin

If the user opening the package isn't an administrator, it looks like it will install the app in the user's home folder instead. If they are an administrator, Zoom will delete the ZoomUsPlugIn.plugin from /Library if it's there, but it still installs to ~/Library.

It also adds Zoom to your Dock automatically, without asking.

Then mathematical neatness became a goal and led to pruning some features from the core of the language.

If you prefer programming languages with a tidy and tiny core, you're in for a treat. This article drills down to the singleton primitive at the heart of Raku's metamodel ("model of a model") of a model of computation ("how units of computations, memories, and communications are organized")¹.

The reason I've written this article

It began with u/faiface's reddit post/thread "I'm impressed with Raku"². One of their sentences in particular stood out for me:

This list was auto-generated on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) using a script that did the following:

grabbed the name of all the .plist files located in the 5 folders used by launchctl:

~/Library/LaunchAgents Per-user agents provided by the user.
/Library/LaunchAgents Per-user agents provided by the administrator.
/Library/LaunchDaemons System wide daemons provided by the administrator.
/System/Library/LaunchAgents OS X Per-user agents.
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons OS X System wide daemons.

	- Move to the start of the line using fn + ← and to the end of the line with fn + →.
	- Also you can delete a word backwards using Option ⌥ + ⌫, delete the whole line using Command ⌘ + ⌫.

	If the preset doesn't appear, reinstall iTerm2. If you installed it using Homebrew + Cask:

	brew cask reinstall iterm2
