jashkenas

For those folks not already hanging out in #documentcloud... here's the log of this afternoon's Ember/Backbone politics discussion.

12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: hey
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I'm sorry
12:21 PM <wycats> how would you like me to describe backbone?
12:21 PM <wycats> let's work this out for once and for all :)
12:21 PM <wycats> I'm definitely not intentionally saying incorrect things about backbone
12:22 PM • knowtheory gets out popcorn
12:24 PM <jashkenas> don't worry about it too much -- I'm just not terribly pleased with backbone being continued to be used as the strawman...
12:24 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I am worried about it a lot

Well, that was unexpected. In the following, I’m trying to follow Jon Evans’ advice from “The Terrible Technical Interview”.

Let's Destroy C

I have a pet project I work on, every now and then. CNoEvil.

The concept is simple enough.

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C?
