I hate to say it, but unless there’s a really well-funded foundation involved, Compiler Explorer and godbolt.org won’t last forever either. (Maybe by then all the info will have been distilled into the 487 quadrillion parameter model of everything…)
- layer8 1y agoThanks to the no-hiding theorem, the information will live forever. ;)
- mattgodbolt 1y agoWe've done alright so far: 13 years this week. I have funding for another year and change even assuming growth and all our current sponsors pull out. I /am/ thinking about a foundation or similar though: the single point of failure is not funding but "me".
- badmintonbaseba 1y agoWell, that's true, but at least now compiler explorer links will stop working when compiler explorer vanishes, but not before that. I think the most valuable long-living compiler explorer links are in bug reports. I like to link to compiler explorer in bug reports for convenience, but I also include the code in the report itself, and specify what compiler I used with what version to reproduce the bug. I don't expect compiler explorer to vanish anytime soon, but making bug reports self-contained like this protects against that.
