The goal is not to look like golang but to maintain locality: Implementation of one thing should be at one place, not at two different places.

Now you made me curios. How would you go about doing it with functions? Keep in mind that the goal is to interleave conditions and the code in switch-like way.

Uh, fixed. Your solution looks a lot like Duff's device :)

Yes. That sound like the same thing.

The "linked list on the stack" mechanism can be used even outside of metaprogramming context. Imagine you are traversing a binary tree and while doing so, you want to keep some data associated with every ancestor node of the one b

Using that definition, libmill is definitely coroutine-based. It does the scheduling itself.

by rumcajz 11y ago
Yes, that's exactly what it is. But it also matches wikipedia's difinition of coroutine: "Coroutines are computer program components that generalize subroutines for nonpreemptive multitasking, by allowing multiple entry point

Ability to prefix fields by size. Which in turn means you can't preallocate buffers because you don't know the sizes in advance.

Timeout: finish in 10 seconds. Deadline: finish at 7:15:35PM. The advantage of deadlines is that you can define a fixed deadline and then re-use it for any number of calls, without having to subtract the time already spent in previous calls

But if you extract each piece of code that doesn't fit the structured syntax into a separate function you'll end up with zillions of small functions witch have no clear semantics by themselves (only when considered within the cont

do_stuff1() is a shorthand. It can be a block of code tens of lines long.

It's a dirty little secret. Officially, of course, we are all using structured programming. But in private, everybody does break and continue!

The thing is we have no clear idea what we mean when speaking about consciousness. Luckily, there are some people who honestly try to find out. Dan Dennett to name one. Also this talk about consciousness by Susan Blackmoore is both funny an

Don't frget about TCPMUX listening on port 1. (RFC 1078) That's a serious stuff that could see many applications even in today's world.

You should have a look at a code writte by actual senior programmer, not a wannabe one. Senior people strive for maintainability.

I would also add that unikernels make sense from the architectural point of view. Instead of running the monolithic behemoth of modern operating system, you can run something very basic, like a hypervisor and have everything else in optiona

If your chair covers the area of Los Angeles, it'll sure have problems with changing landscape. If it's a regular-sized chair, less so.

Aside of it being convenient for users, keeping the components small is good for the developer as it tends to tame the complexity to the acceptable level.
