You're either realtime or you're not. If you have hard and fast time requirements to perform certain actions then you're real time. (e.g. 3 ms. to decide whether or not to turn the cruise missile or it hits a hospital). There is no 'soft' r

The text for the upper boxes is easy to read on the full sized png, but difficult when scaled when showing in the github page. If the smaller size is the default it could be an issue. I also think you should make scales for "Used Memory" an

Cyclomatic complexity (CC) is good as long as it doesn't become the end-all be-all measure of code. I've run into crazy types that use it as an abusive bludgeon. Code that has low CC feels strange if you're not used to it, but there are som

C/C++ can be taken to extremes with preprocessor abuse. If you've never looked at the obfuscated C programming contests, then you should. As far as Scala DSL's go, didn't somebody post one the other day that made an ascii art picture of a C
