#22Faster than C – this is explained in the FAQ as most C programs being single threaded and ANI being inherently multithreaded. ANIC was posted to HN most of a year ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1042122 with much commentary.
People shouldn't make claims like that honestly. It makes be discount the language almost immediately because I know I can't really trust what's written about it on its site. Furthermore, there's tons and tons of parallel C code. Probably more than any other language. Almost any decent C library is reentrant. Many of major C projects (mostly thinking of server software and operating system kernels) are threaded.
Hell, many operating system's thread schedulers are written in C..

Sorry, I missed it at the time. BTW I wanted to avoid a double submit and I have been looking for some "search" box without success, it is probably obvious once you know where it is, where is it?

Look at the links in the page footer (Lists, RSS, Search, ...).

#26Am I the only one thinking this code looks ugly and hacky. I would never code in this.
Looks ulgy and hacky. But OTOH is mind bogglingly fast on multicore processors (i.e anything bigger than an iPhone). I think its just become the basis of my next project.

#27Still reading through, it's definitely piqued my interest. However, in the interest of consistency [as it translates to readability] two issues right away: 1) Get rid of the infix modifier to the filter. The statement is made that in ANI everything flows left to right. The infix operator while providing familiar 1+6->7 notation conflicts with the above flow statement. 1,6+->7 while not immediately familiar is easy to…

#28Maybe it's just me, but I don't believe you can claim Windows supported by Cygwin proxy.

#29The syntax hurts my eyes.

#30At first glance I always think it's "simpler than shit.", but then I read the article, and no, for my poor brain it is not simpler than shit.
