I figured there was some new language Cairo with a next gen garbage collector.
- dang 7y agoThe domain name is the tipoff.
- endymi0n 7y agoWell - I read the domain name as a pun on Github of a new open source community featuring literate programming languages, of which a particularly new one named Cairo had a fully correct GC. It took me almost a minute to adjust all my assumptions. Well executed nerd snipe.
- to11mtm 7y agoI assumed it was some 10xer/brogrammer hosting for projects that were 'lit'. Slightly disappointed.
- fortyseven 7y agoI thought it might be an old story about Windows 95.
- donpdonp 7y agoI thought someone found a speedup for the Cairo graphics library by looking at the garbage collector.
- anaphor 7y agoSame. I've been messing with Xlib/XCB/Cairo/etc for the past few weeks and it's all I've been thinking about lately. I guess if you use the Xlib/XCB backends for Cairo surfaces then you would get some sort of GC on the Xorg server side.
