This style is very similar to one which is used by expert C programmers, it seems that most people that write like this have had experience writing parsers and compilers too. It's not their fault that most people don't just think purely in terms of function composition :P
- olavk 8y agoI'm sure the code works very well for its intended purpose, but I'm kind of wary of the idea that using obscure abbreviations like 'posf', 'arem', 'vis', 'ind' etc. makes you "expert hacker". I don't agree that code should always be designed to be perfectly readable by outsiders. If such abbreviations works for the people who have to maintain the code, more power to them. But I disagree than this is somehow proof of superior skill.
- LiterallyDoge 8y agoI think there are several different types of C programmers, and that terseness and functional design are very different.
- combatentropy 8y agoYes, and it reminds me also of Unix shell commands.
