> A while back I wrote a compiler which targeted GNU Make and made it run Conway's Game of Life (complete with hand-tooled arbitrary precision maths library written in make). I learnt more about this stuff than is healthy to know. The compiler output is... special. One part of me wants to buy you a drink. The other part wants to scratch my eyes out with a rusty fork. Since I have no rusty forks at hand, and we probably won't ever meet, I'm just going to enjoy this as new record in "because-I-can"-land.
