This project exists so Google can go to the (EU) regulators and demand Apple stop anti-competitive actions and lets poor small-time startups like Beeper freely interact with iMessage. The EU is much more likely to protect Beeper from Apple

I wonder how far I would have to dig before I found the way Google is funding Beeper Mini. They are a sacrificial lamb, getting lead to slaughter so Google can ask EU regulators to stop Apple’s anti-competitive actions.

People who went with posh tools like regexpen were stumped, people with an C64 BASIC inspired for loop had little difficulty. The problem was optimized for the unga bunga

Programming languages tend to fall on a spectrum of "whip-up-ability". The faster you can prototype in a language, the more god-awful spaghetti you can produce. With great flexibility comes great responsibility
