Are you saying that views are yet another project? I wouldn't like that. (Model, otoh, why not?) People are currently typically creating Model, ViewModel, View folders in VS, and I don't like that either. I find this makes me jumping through folders for no good reason. I'd prefer if these were together on a functional...

We're cross talking here. There is a rich spectrum of interpreters between immediate execution (SICP's 4.1 meta-circular interpreter or Norvig's lispy) and compilers. It just depends how rich you make your AST representation (between parser and eval) is. Modifying SICP's interpreter to include lexical addressing is ...

Indeed. And that's why GC is not the preferred method to manage resources in C++. I've been using reference counting all thoughout my code in the recent years, and the only time I introduced resource leaks was when I introduced cycles via subclassing. More specifically, at one point, subclasses obtained a shared poi...

I don't say I don't like "some unions". I've **never** met someone who actually knew about unions and had good things to say about them. Unions are a bunch of fucking mafia idiots who just don't want to do any actual work. Unions serve a purpose: protect the unions.

Quite a lot of the scenes in [Plane9](http://www.plane9.com/scenes/browse) are just one big CgFx shader and new ones are uploaded every now and then.

It's C99 only. It's not part of C++, and and probably won't ever be. It's called designated initialization. A GCC extension does allow you to do this from C++, but using this style: orwl_addr addr = { .sin6: { .sin6_family: AF_INET6 etc. etc.

The one incredible feature Xcode has which this is missing is the side-by-side header and implementation view. Having two files for one class is incredibly annoying in C/C++/Objective-C, but with the split view in Xcode, which opens the respective header file for each implementation, it's not really a problem any more....

Actually vector.push_back won't have n allocations it will allocate one peace of memory and then place stuff in that (it will construct/copy objects tough).
