Communism occurs in part whenever a need is met or an economic decision is made without using value tokens. Direct access to resources without money happens every day (e.g. anyone …

Bytecode is great for tiny domain languages and I use them in many projects. Ultima IV used one to animate sprites on it's title screen map. For the next version of XU4 I implement…

I'm running 120 (released five months ago). If people wrote web pages rather than web programs these sort of issues could be avoided.

C++ has struct & typedef and things work quite naturally. It always seemed like an obvious thing to bring to C, but I'm not sure about the nuances of the rules governing this.

How would using an existing structure definition where an undefined type is found break anything? Compilers already know what you want to do as it will print an error such as: "unk…

The most desired C++ feature I'd like to see is the automatic typedef'ing of structures. Does anyone know why such a fundamental thing hasn't been implemented yet?

Yes, that declarative style makes more sense to me than a forwards build statement of steps. I developed my own tool for building C/C++ projects which follows this style. It automa…

Recently someone has been trying to build a Nix package of an open source game I maintain, so I had a brief look at the project. It does appear to be an experiment in package manag…

Good stuff. I may make use of the .ini parser as my current one doesn't handle sections. There are a growing number of stand alone support modules in my projects that I need to pub…
