I can attest to the awesomeness of both Kod and Rasmus.

Especially Rasmus, I coded up the whole indentation feature and he had to completely rewrite everything I made because of efficiency issues (I'm not that great with objC yet) and he didn't even complain.

Great guy.

Don't sell yourself short. Just having a working prototype can be a god-send, no matter how inefficient.
It happened to be my second time ever coding in objC, so I'm fairly certain it was crap.

My later patches (think I've made two or three so far) got accepted without change :)

Hope I have time soon to make the automagic indentation feature that's possible with the new AST thingy. Also hope somebody hasn't beaten me to it yet :P

Your intellectual honesty and ability to judge your work dispassionately, as well as the fact that he accepted your work, lead me to believe that it might not have been crap.
