Hi! Author here. You saved me a good day of figuring out what all the header fields meant. I definitely appreciated finding your code!

- thrtythreeforty 6y agoAlso... When you were 15? Geez, I think I knew what GWBASIC was at that age. Kudos again.
- nvella 6y agoCheers :) Yeah, I was one of those kids that spent most of their free time programming or otherwise tinkering with computers. I started with simple systems scripting languages before moving to Ruby and getting a proper grip on basic OOP stuff, C then shortly followed. I don't really have any use for C today, but it definitely taught me a lot. It was intimidating at first, but when the concept of pointers finally clicked I felt like I had a sense of control in the language, and things were relatively deterministic and predictable. I did most of my projects in C for a few years, but eventually got sucked into the JS ecosystem like pretty much everyone else at the time. These days I mostly work in .NET - C# is constantly evolving, and with .NET Core it's seemed to strike a good balance between powerful tooling, cross-platform support, performance, and just fun language features. I'm pretty content for now :)
