Are you serious? Every Operating System manufacturer these days "standardizes" their UI across their whole offering every few years (Microsoft, Google, Ubuntu and Apple are all on board). Just a moment ago, Holographic Design was

Neat, but this is not a general purpose C interpreter. It seems to lack the preprocessor and is only able to execute the example program and itself because it has wrapper implementations for a static set of standard library functions includ

In Scandinavia, the universities are generally almost 100% tax-funded, so one might say it's right for the government to demand a higher "Return Of Investment". Surely there could also be private tuition-funded universities a

I think this post is a joke of some sort ("nope.c"), example of how not to do things and why we don't code web apps in C. The "web server" is just ridiculously badly designed.
