They're all quite amazing pieces of writing, and very funny. Are there some people who understand the technical content?

They're all quite amazing pieces of writing, and very funny. Are there some people who understand the technical content?
- Sharlin 5y agoSure?
- da39a3ee 5y agoGreat! I sort of see that in the "typing" one the candidate manages to solve the problem using type-level (compile-time) computations alone. But I can assure you that for the majority of Hacker News readers, trying to read the "hexing" one makes them feel stupid because it's so far over their heads. Would you be able to give a summary of the technical content?
- Sharlin 5y agoThe protagonist "simply" implements the algorithm in hand-coded JVM bytecode (including all the boilerplate that JVM requires), plus writes a classloader in Clojure so the "hexed" class can be, well, loaded at runtime.
