The following is an archive of a number of parallel discussions that happened on Twitter on 1 April, 2019.
The original quesion was posed by me, and signal boosted by @stshank:
When was the MIT License created? I can't find any source that gives a year.
My Unity repo's git config as of today.
For more complex and complete alternatives, look at:
| #pragma once | |
| #define DYN_ARR_OF(type) struct { \ | |
| type *data; \ | |
| type *endptr; \ | |
| uint32_t capacity; \ | |
| } | |
| #if !defined(__cplusplus) | |
| #define decltype(x) void* |

Here's a list of mildly interesting things about the C language that I learned mostly by consuming Clang's ASTs. Although surprises are getting sparser, I might continue to update this document over time.
There are many more mildly interesting features of C++, but the language is literally known for being weird, whereas C is usually considered smaller and simpler, so this is (almost) only about C.
struct foo {
struct bar {
int x;
export x = 42
This is a story about how I tried to use Go for scripting. In this story, I’ll discuss the need for a Go script, how we would expect it to behave and the possible implementations; During the discussion I’ll deep dive to scripts, shells, and shebangs. Finally, we’ll discuss solutions that will make Go scripts work.
While python and bash are popular scripting languages, C, C++ and Java are not used for scripts at all, and some languages are somewhere in between.
