- teh_klev 9y agoI have vaguely similar experiences when hitting up a google search result on Stack Overflow only to discover the answer/solution I'm looking at is one I wrote years ago.
- jwr 9y agoI can relate to this. I once started searching for an I2C driver for a Kinetis microcontroller, only to have Spotlight find one sitting on my hard drive. I had written one and forgot all about it. This is when I decided to post any reasonably-complete code on GitHub: so that I can easily find it later on.
- zeveb 9y agoOut of curiosity, how come Redis uses Lua instead of TCL? They're both neat, small, fast little languages, and they're both based around a powerful primitive used everywhere (tables in Lua, strings in TCL). I think TCL is a bit more elegant, while Lua is a bit more familiar.
- antirez 9y agoTo maximize familiarity indeed. Lua is more algol like. Moreover while the Tcl implementation is small is nowhere near the ANSI C target of Lua that compiles even into a toaster.
