- Stratoscope 4y agoThat's not sad, it's good writing to define any uncommon acronyms or initialisms. And many people reading would not recognize that one. Of course now I am wondering what the other WAP is. Maybe I don't want to know...
- AviationAtom 4y agoYou probably don't. Your life won't be any richer being in the know. In fact, it may be less so.
- Stratoscope 4y agoThat is great advice and I will heed it, thanks. Considering that the Fortran Assembly Program (FAP) is on the HN home page right now, it seems particularly relevant! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31553927 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31553927
