In terms of features, I imagine they are about the same. Here is why I think this. Maxima's function organization seems to follow and refers to the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions https://dlmf.nist.gov/

Actually, no, shortening names won't speed bytecode up in the way you seem to be suggesting. Variables "are" indexed by position in some arrays like co_varnames, co_names, co_const and so on. See for example https:/&#x

"Does anyone use this": I use it in the "deparse" command of my Pytohn 3 debugger trepan3k ( https://pypi.org/project/trepan3k/#exact-location-informatio... ) and the corresponding Python 2 deb

Yes and no. If you are sure that you start out with something generated by Python, then assuming the Python compiler is faithful, then of course you can always produces source code that doesn't have goto's in it. If instead someon

Instead of taking a quick look at the description of how it works, why not instead spend a little more time to understand more, before passing judgement? I have written http://rocky.github.io/Deparsing-Paper.pdf to help peo

Author here... The v8 debugger protocol rocks. The standard cli interface to it less so. For example, missing is simple frame-motion commands like "up", "down", with attendant evaluation in that context are possible from

Author here. Recently incorporated this into Python's traceback module: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/loctraceback and have used this idea in Perl (which from the help of perlmonks is where I got the idea). I am cu

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure I understand the part about the text in 3 or 4 subtitles. You mean section headings on the wiki page, right? If that's what you meant that is done now. Yes, I think that helps.

Author here: In the last 3 years or so I've been working on a decompiler, and it is like a compiler in complexity, engineering, and testing. But different. Since that URL is to a wiki, this is a better forum for comments. So I am happy

By the way... the person who wrote Turbo Pascal, Anders Hejlsberg, in fact went to Microsoft and was the principle architect behind Microsoft's J++, C#, probably the .NET runtime system. He is a lead architect there. See https:/

I know. I am a long-time fan of your Perl work. And I know how to get them dynamically via an API which is done for example in https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::Trepan::Deparse What I don't know how to do, if you co

Yes it does! It took a while however to find. I've now updated the remake wiki to include it. Direct link though is: https://github.com/rocky/remake/wiki/linuxBernsteinMakeDebug...

Yeah, you win a few and lose a lot. I guess it all evens out. Judging by github ratings, the debugger for zsh (zshdb) is more popular than I would have expected. And that means I have had to know more about zsh than I would have otherwise.

Sigh. Showmedo seems to have shut down. I looked on my disk and I don't see a copy of the video. Or the notes I used to make the video. A shame because this was probably the more practical (day-to-day use) of the two. The closest I can

You are correct. At the time this was started there was no github; or git for that matter. I think I joined github around 2006 or so, and sometime after that converted either the CVS or svn repo to git. And I was a bit lazy in setting up th
