> sure that all of modern software could easily be 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller niklaus wirth thought similarly... in 1995![0] i enjoy implementing array langs (k primarily) so small binaries come with the territory. really appreciated your write-up. i may try something similar for an array lang. you might also appreciate (or detest) 'b'[1][2] - a small implementation of a "fast c compiler (called b: isomorphic to c)". it has some similarities to SectorC.
