"something possible in the like of Java, C, et al but definitely not idiomatic at all."
What on earth is non-idiomatic multicore c code? You have to try really hard with Macro tomfoolery before c becomes non-idiomatic :) .
- lvh 10y agoIsn't this just a convoluted way of arguing that there's no such thing as idiomatic multicore C? If everything's idiomatic, then surely nothing is.
- fsloth 10y agoNo, it was a convoluted way to say that the attempt to measure C programs by their quality as "idiomatic" will unlikely bear any fruits of value. That said, if there is any non-idiomatic C code then the attempts of 'experts' in other languages to mangle C to look more like their language surely fall into this category (There are lots of examples where the author starts 'We can make C look more like fortran by defining our macros to replace these keywords..).
