That is cute, but Java, Python and Go all also have multiple, huge, commercial sponsors, and I think it's a mistake to dismiss this impact as less significant than the balance between expressive power and intelligibility. The real prob

gcc (ld actually) makes __start_sort_callbacks and __end_sort_callbacks for you, so you shouldn't need a custom linker script.

It is the dumb person who doesn’t ask questions and do anything about them being dumb. It is funny that you can also learn things like that without questions, but how could it be any other way? We are all born dumb!

Our qsort() caller is an application with at most 256 different comparators. Let us call that an ABI limit. The addresses are in read-only memory so they cannot be changed- new addresses simply cannot be introduced at run-time, so there is

If you don't use the standard library, and you don't need JIT, you can simply not use pointers to callbacks. You can still have something like qsort() but you need to have statically defined: typedef void*(*callback)(...);ex

If you have cycles in your graph, you can build a tree out of a vector of indices, or as a table of parent/child node keys. The former is what John Scholes does[1], and the latter has plenty of common SQL examples. [1]: https:/&#

Beating benchmarks is always fun, but I think the ergonomics of the solution matter a great deal. That is to say the words we use matter: I'm excited that Haskell, and OCaml (and so on) have efficient solutions, but I'm extremely

I don't believe you can have 50 people producing knowledge and checking in code that nobody ever looks at or reviews, writing documentation that all 50 are expected to know, and have even a good portion of that 50 people understand it
