"A pseudo-stack machine JIT runtime thingamajobber."
Ugh, really? I feel like 90% of the time if you find yourself writing a JIT compiler, you're probably doing it wrong.
And "quirky" is not something I want to hear ascribed to a codebase.
- ahlatimer 15y agoHe probably built it not because he needed it for something, but because he wanted to see how they worked. That's precisely the kind of person I'd want to hire. Someone so interested in this stuff that they build things to see how they work, not just because they're paid to do it.
- alnayyir 15y agoYou don't know this guy, I've known him for years. Most recently, he's run into and fixed some bugs in linenoise, which was written by one of the most prolific programmers I'm aware of in recent history. Don't badmouth people you don't know. Quirky was an adjective for him, not his code. He's writing the it for fun, that's all. He has no needs.
- Ugarte 15y agoSorry if that sounded like badmouthing. Just a comment--I realize I don't have the proper context.
