>Compiling config file into an .so object.
That is neither new, nor interesting "engineering". Lots of software that needs significant customization uses the host programming language for configuration.

How is "we used an existing data structure and deliberately misrepresent this as some amazing discovery" an amazing feat of engineering? This supports the notion that varnish's biggest achievement is an amazing feat of marketing.
- xxxyy 12y agoRegarding the .so configuration: can you show other examples? I find this technique fascinating, as it combines speed, expressiveness and actually ease of use. About the alternative heap implementation: can you point out who else has described this aggregated-heap data structure? I don't even know if it has any name, but sure as hell it is a good idea.
