asciilifeform: the fact that reiser was jailed cemented it as permanently high-quality, no one wants to touch it, no 'progressors' progressate at it, no gnomes, no popularizers!111, etc.
asciilifeform: but i can't promise this, and can't be bothered to test, for reasons already described.
asciilifeform: from my naked eye reading, your thing will run until the first gc cycle.
asciilifeform: he is free, and encouraged to, produce his own schismatic shiva, and sign it, and who knows, folks may come to prefer it to mine.
asciilifeform: the magic of 'v' is that polarbeard does NOT have to agree with me!111
asciilifeform: and also in case polarbeard missed last night's thread,
asciilifeform: (for n00bs or readers who have not been keeping up, 'shiva' is a highly experimental affair and not to be considered part of mainline trb!)
asciilifeform: but yes, in the long run it is intended as a prosthesis to take over where the brain damage of the original is incurable.
asciilifeform: for the time being, with the more modest goal of abolishing the rpc module.
asciilifeform: nobody asked you to. but try also refrain from translating shiva to cpp, and spreading the leak metastases into it ?
asciilifeform: shiva.cpp as i originally wrote it, includes all of the trb headers. you can form scheme data structures handily without engaging in weird cppisms, just by iterating over, e.g., the node list, and forming scheme list while you do it.
asciilifeform: i suppose if mircea_popescu tells me that it is standard, i will believe.
asciilifeform wonders about the hypertrophied labia 90%+ of porn chix seem to have
asciilifeform: it is also how you get 'no motherfucking updates ever, weld into concrete' while still getting exactly what is needed at every juncture.
asciilifeform: complete solution made from ~orthogonal pieces~ is the magic sword which weighs as a feather.
asciilifeform: any metric you like - lines, complexity, hours to read
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a misconception, in this case. weigh my tinyscheme vs gnudiff!
asciilifeform: nobody said terraforming planets would be easy...
asciilifeform: which is why turingcompletefinalsolution.
asciilifeform: (chicken was what i nowadays call a 'pedigree bridge')
asciilifeform: we have this atrocity because gnudiff is incapable of renaming a directory without MORONICALLY --- -ing EVERY FUCKING LINE of every file and +++ -ing it in again
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a continuation of a thread almost as old as 'v' - consider the tinyscheme-genesis patch, shiva, and the 'pedigree bridge'
asciilifeform: it is why i settled on straight gnudiff instead of trying 'clever' things
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-02-2016#1411879 << imho this will have to be a thing that is solved in one Final Solution shot, with turing-complete diff. we can NOT have 1,001 incompatible hacked gnudiff variants floating around in attempted use, it is chaos and death by ants.☝︎☟︎
