Are there any good real-world examples for this?
- steveklabnik 13y agoEmacs? ;)
- tonyg 13y agoThe browser.
- pcwalton 13y agoWell, it's pretty formally specified now. (Also pretty fast.)
- silentOpen 13y agoIt's kinda sorta specified in English prose. I wouldn't call that formal, though.
- SixSigma 13y agoIt's a similar observation to the Inner Platform Effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect Any project that runs some sort of external script would count. Soon a config file has some sort of conditional (#define grows #ifdef) and variables. Also any project that has a VM (in the traditional sense) such as SCUMM. It incorporates the notion that Lisp will do everything already, the code as data as code that Lisp gives you is a win that coders dismiss until it's too late and they have spent years learning C++
