Maybe one day, when we'll run out of whatever-it-takes to build computers, we'll have to optimize for size, but that's another story.
- baldfat 10y agoI still remember the days of C64 and the 640kb limitation in DOS. What we got was first optimization then full on hacks and mostly assembly language. To use a tool and give up on size really doesn't bother me. I rather have elegant solutions then full on hackery or difficult memory management type solutions.
