This is a poorly written article that is convoluted and made unnecessarily complex. This is similar to writing an article titled 'tearing apart google search' and then dwelling on HTTP, TCP/IP, routers etc instead of actually talking about how google search works.
I was expecting the article to start off by 'tearing apart' the source code, then dig into the algorithms with which diverse formats are rendered, then compare a few popular implementations and finally provide valuable insights, something on the lines of what WalterBright mentioned and the brief discussion it started. If not all this, the minimum I expected was an abridged, annotated source code.
This article left me underwhelmed.
- jxub 8y agoCould you point to a better explanation? I'd love to read that instead as I thought the same.
