Author here. Thanks for all the upvotes - and Compiler Explorer is awesome - but I’m not sure this should be on the front page as it’s mostly a collection of links. @dang
- sfink 2y agoI disagree. I found it to be a very nice approachable high-level walkthrough of what CE can do. I've used CE for various things, but still learned about several capabilities that I didn't know about and can make use of. And calling something like this just "a collection of links"... have you seen the crap that passes for a web page on today's web? I'll take a manually curated collection of links with some useful commentary any day over the AI-generated "here are 30 answers to your question and several similar questions, with repeats and contradictory answers thrown in for free" things I find all over the place.
- gwbas1c 2y ago> but I’m not sure this should be on the front page as it’s mostly a collection of links I disagree. A lot of time there's a link to a project on Hacker News without any kind of about page. I significantly prefer to go to an about / demo page that tells me about the tool, with links to the tool itself. > Disclaimer: We are now entering a ‘rabbit hole’ that may consume several hours of your time. I really enjoyed skimming the article; seeing your results instead of taking the time to learn how to use the tool and generate similar results.
