Ask HN: Examples of excellent procedural code?
Can anyone suggest projects with procedural code (not OOP or Functional Programming) that is modular, readable and well designed?
The code can be in any language, include old languages no longer in widespread use e.g Modula-2, Basic etc.

- EdwardCoffin 8y agoThe source code for TeX, and for METAFONT are thought well of. Here's what Guy L. Steele has to say about them [1]: "... what I really recommend to you are TeX: The Program and METAFONT: The Program, because these are simply the best-written, best-documented, best-debugged programs of their size ever published. They reward careful study." I have to admit that I have not read all of them myself, but I have read parts of them, and think those parts are good.
