QOTW: "I employ Wishful Thinking as design methodology... and it's
surprisingly successful with Tcl." -- Richard Suchenwirth
"I look forward to the day when compiling is as rare as assembling." -- willdye,
who further explained that he writes of "'compiling' as a manual 20-minute task
several times a day (like right now). If it's an automatic optimization like
gcc invoking the assembler, it's not what I meant by 'compiling'."
POTW: Muse entertains.
