>With all due respect, these “adversial compiler” expression just makes zero sense, and takes a lot away from your comment. I was describing how it seems these complex compilers look for excuses to give you miscompilations, this "lo

You add in simplicity by taking out code. It is very possible (and common) to find better abstractions or methods to approach a problem that reduce the complexity of the code.

>it is more important that the implementation—or the design of the implementation—of a piece of software be simple than that it be correct. This is true and when your compiler actually abides by these values it is shocking how many issue

Working on plan 9 (9front) has gotten me two different jobs now. Not through companies wanting to work with Plan 9 specifically, but from members of the community who happened to have open spots at their company and were familiar with my wo
