Well, the iTunes store came online in 2003. Not much of a stretch to foresee a marketplace for apps much like the marketplace for music. Whether it would be successful or not is another thing.

Agreed. Reading the Self thread kind of got the nostalgia going for the Smalltalk. I was quite surprised to see how thorough archive.org has become. I went through a rather large Smalltalk phase in the first half of the nineties, and was

Machine language won't go away either. It's just that the only people writing it are compilers. The article was more about: Python programmer meets C, C introduces him to malloc(), programmer falls in love with malloc, C gets jea

If we are looking at the universe of Rails and Python programmers coming to C, then yeah, I think we can assume they aren't doing it for the exotic address manipulation operations and their colleague's prestige ;) It's speed.

Valgrind looks like an amazing tool. I am still a bit giddy to use a C with function prototypes, // style comments and enums, to be honest.

I am not familiar with 'free-standing', though, I think that malloc in most environments never returns the same pointer twice (an alias). Though I may misunderstand your point.

Well, truth be told, I'm a bit of an interloper. I'm quite old and C is my 'native tongue', although I haven't really programmed in it for years, until recently. At the beginning of my career, I spent fourish years

It could be argued that rapid prototyping is modern software development. In the late 80's and early 90's, rapid prototyping was very fashionable in the 'anti-waterfall' software engineering schools of thought. The id

I too am a slow programmer. I have seen so many furious sprints towards the 'finished' system with so little knowledge of what actually needs to be built. The only part that has changed recently is that there is now typically a u
