company with an in-house compiler of a functional language, w/ no chanche to have a breakpoint or know whats what in the disassembly, generates ~800 lines of assembly for the simpelest things. turns out that someone did not read the specs and used xorps in a funny, heisenberg-ish way.

i saw this happening at a demoparty, the person sitting next to me:

hekps out a friend with some coding problems; discovers a file containing a class called "superHoegen" with the function members "SuperHoegen1" ..."SuperHoegen12" took a while to realize that this was the martix class of the renderer and sth like ".SuperHoegen5()" would invert the matrix.

also there where no bugs in the superhoegen class, just funny naming :)

anyways, here's the abductee-programming-language-conundrum:

consider Language X: there is a nuclear power plant, and you or loved ones live within 10 miles. it is your responsibility to select the language for implementing the emergency shutdown procedures. would you use language X?

german hiphop star smudo has been promoting the luca app in german tv, etc.

- funnily enough the same smudo who was a very vocal "Napster bad!!11eleven" voice back in the day ... however napster would at least meet 2 op the ccc criteria(instead of 0, like luca :)
