Guy L. Steele Jr., Tartan Laboratories quotes
"If the programmer can simulate a construct faster then the compiler can implement the construct itself, then the compiler writer has blown it badly."
The most instructive experiences are those of everyday life.
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
"If the programmer can simulate a construct faster then the compiler can implement the construct itself, then the compiler writer has blown it badly."
