A few days ago I found myself writing pure ansi C code, after over two years of not touching it at all. In fact, these two years consisted mostly of Python, and a little of C#, both very far from it. While coding away, trying... View Article
My last post introduced the concept of X, a class which "absorbs" operations and behaves like a function. As many people pointed out, this was merely a syntactic alternative to lambda. You may like it, you may not. Now, after a rewrite, X can now... View Article
