The performance loss was many times higher than experts usually hit even when optimizing for correctness. You also assume it will be later be close to C’s performance which most people who are experts wouldn’t claim. I’m glad you are aware of their work, though. “Know better than any of those folks” The Word of God says pride comes before the fall and the proud get humbled. If you have the knowledge, then wisdom might be the next thing to add to the project. You will be living pleasing to God and might draw in others with exactly the ideas you need.

  So was I. Then, I saw a miracle that disproved all that. I was a highly-arrogant person, too. Turns out Jesus is God, we will all face His judgement, and repenting in the best thing we can do. God made it easy on us, though. He said anyone who humbly reads His Word will, by supernatural action, know it’s true. He also provided proof. Please do look at GetHisWord.com for both. You’ll get to meet the Creator who made you and all the interesting things you love.

sometimes people really are experts, OP built JavaScriptCore/Webkit for 10 years (and wrote many fun blog posts thx phil), and seems to be working on the ideas in this "joke project" for a few years, the allocator for isoheaping shipped in webkit in 2022 https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Source/bmalloc/libpas/Documentation.md https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Source/bmalloc/li...

  That could be true. It’s a huge field, though, with many experts on interpreters or even QA not hearing of the tools I mentioned. Industry, FOSS, and academia are often silo’s to various degrees. Perhaps he’s well studied and that would be great. What caught my eye in his replies on Lobste.rs and here is how he replies. There seems to be as much ego as technical decisions driving it. In that case, people arguing technical details are wasting time since the project needs something else. Or they should thank him and fork it if they have different ideas.

    There is a time and place for modesty and humility. For me, this ain't it, because I know how to solve this problem better than others have done, and so: I'm going to talk about why I think I'm right and I'm going to keep implementing Fil-C. No need to be offended by the fact that I'm calling my shot!
