> You can witness it by the bloatification of spidermonkey from a light clean C lib to a monstruously complex C++ VM (yes the clean C code is trashed). Eh this is the first time I've heard someone describe the current macro hell of Mozilla JavaScript interpreter as "light clean C lib". thou the armchair architecht in me would have preferred a LLVM based Jit VM than yet-another-handcoded VM what tamarin is.. Perhaps the webkit people will do that then.

Posted May 16, 2008 22:50 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] You forgot the Sylware Maxim: if it's C, it is ipso facto light and clean and elegant, regardless of any properties of the actual code. If it's C++, it is similarly ugly and bloated, even if (as with much of the STL, say) its size hit is exactly as low as it would be with hand-crafted C code. This is religion. It doesn't need to have a grounding in mere plebeian *facts*.
