This is probably silly of me, but if you had an understanding of the mach subsystem this is pretty straightforward to understand, no comments necessary.

You don't get RAII in standard C. This code uses the GCC-specific cleanup attribute to emulate RAII.

I found it works better on my machine if I adjust .bars height to be 15.5px with a margin-bottom of 1px.

The simplest numerical approximation method is Euler's method. It also tends to be unstable. Personally I prefer to just throw a fourth order Runge–Kutta (RK4) at things and normally that's more than good enough. List of reading:

Well, you are incorrect. The simple use of modulo does result in a bias. See for instance, modulo 7: 0 % 7 = 0 1 % 7 = 1 2 % 7 = 2 . . . 56 % 7 = 0 57 % 7 = 1 58 % 7 = 2 59 % 7 = 3 From this,

Not requiring energy is a mistake from Wired. A superconducting version of the drive would be able to provide much higher Q, and thus much higher static thrust to power ratio. It would also have much better performance at higher waveguide v

150+ isn't terribly much since each is basically an `if` statment. All 150 rules can be reduced to a single table lookup if necessary for performance. (Memory requirement for the table on the order of tens of kilobytes, though.)

Javascript actually feels more like it's Scheme-inspired. The object system is clearly from Self though. And the syntax is from C.
