I think that in 2026, it's not a good idea to still be using human brainpower to parse gibberish that was hastily decided in the 1960s/1970s for the convenience of writing parsers. Just use tools like cdecl: https://man

> we are performing an rather imprecise and expensive acos() call No, the acos() call is not expensive at all. There is hardware acceleration.We can calculate acos() with in 12 CPU instructions. https://git.musl-libc.org/

I've add exmaples of a toy EDSL and compile-time reflex in C++17 in GitHub readme, which wouldn't work with constexpr only.

Template metaprogramming isn't really suited for this task, the prime sieve here serves only as a proof of concept, meant to show the capabilities of this style. But there are cases where `constexpr` is not applicable, especially when

I don't want a Rust language without a borrow checker. I want a C language with a Borrow Checker. Rust's complexity is already approaching C++, and removing the Borrow Checker would turn it into a similar disaster. Austral looks l

I used similar method to craft my own type-safe algorithm and data structure library in C: https://github.com/mistivia/algds Although it's a toy not for production, it's very interesting that the idea of trai

It's very dangerous to write a http parser from scratch in C. This can be very vulnerable without rigorous testing. To get a useful web framework for production in C, I think it's a better idea to start from libmicrohttpd, libeven
