Which is why when you see a codebase like Plan 9/9front's, you can't help but be in awe. Most of their lines are incredibly compact. In fact, a lot of people who first read the code suffer a bit of a culture shock. It's just too... simple, and readable. Especially for C. This causes some to knock their own particular style of ANSI C as inadequate. I think it's a testament to their genius. You'll probably never find a codebase as massive yet as readable and grokkable as theirs. If you're used to modern Linux code that copiously uses glib, D-Bus and a whole bunch of other libraries, you'll either find it a huge breath of fresh air, or completely blasphemous. |
