Fastcgi was incredibly simple to get hello world running - both in C and through the Chicken Scheme FFI. However, "all" it provides is the backend for a web server so you'd still need t…

For me, too much was tied into using the Kore CLI to build and manage the actually application. Plus configs for routing is the only (apparent) option. I think Kore would be an awesome framework if it…

I've been looking into web frameworks in C recently. The offerings aren't awesome. It's hard to find a good BSD-like-licensed library. Frontrunners included Kore and Crow (another micro…

> only ancient projects seem to use it... Do you mean like Golang? ( https://golang.org/help/ )

For anyone reading "functor" and moving on, this ( http://www.catonmat.net/blog/on-functors/ ) is a great post discussing how the term is used in a variety of langua…

Meanwhile, just for reference, ZFS started in 2001. Introduced in Solaris in 2005 and FreeBSD in 2007. I'm not necessarily trying to make a point here, just adding some related facts.

I think you've confused your dates. ZFS has been in development since 2001. It was first introduced in 2005.

btrfs is immature.

BBC, Reuters, Dir Spiegel (international) for general news. BSDNow for the podcasts. YouTube for watching old conference talks.

I thought it was pretty hilarious. I wonder if I need to refine my definition of "universal".

Any suggested reading material on writing two implementations side by side like that?

Why the GCC requirement on FreeBSD? And that definitely shouldn't require actually creating a static link. Edit: whoops, replied to the wrong parent.

GNU C supports nested functions. Does that solve it (if you accept GCC lock-in)? https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Nested-Functions.html …

Actually, I may have gotten my facts mixed up. It is Golang that only supports some compiling features on linux-x86 like shared object libraries or something along those lines. I can't remember o…

Wow! Thanks for pointing this out! I had no idea it was coming so soon. I'm so excited to upgrade. This is particularly useful for some niche compilers (like Poly/ML) who have special featur…

I used FreeBSD exclusively for a some months on my primary laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad. I never did get wifi working properly (I believe support for my chip is in 10.3 or 11.0) so I had to buy a ten doll…

Smalljs covers everything I need when I don't need anything. Basically is < 80 lines of shorthand for finding elements, iterating over elements and messing with classes. Supports IE9+ and ever…
