No. If you must insist on thinking of them as distinct from native executables, then consider them foreign executable instead—object files written for a different machine architecture and a different loader convention. There's really

There's a perverse bias here that's almost in strange loop territory. To submit a site, you have to file an issue on GitHub. If you consider developers who use GitHub vs developers who don't/won't use GitHub... it

Verbose does not ‘easier to read’ make; especially when you don’t know whether ‘anythingBut’ means (?!...) or [^...]. Type safety is nice, sure, but it’s a rather small benefit in this case. It doesn’t mean abandoning commonly-understood sy

Can you point to some schools with programs in software engineering, distinguished from their CS program?

He could have also written the thing in assembly, stored the machine code in DATA statements, loaded it into an array with a READ/POKE loop, and then called it with CALL ABSOLUTE. I actually used this technique to replace Nibbles’ busy
