3/5     For those of you who went to the Tcl/Tk help session on
        Wednesday and who like scheme, I translated the demo Tcl
        script Sam wrote into STk and placed it in ~josh/xrl.stk
        STk is a scheme interpreter with a string-based (and a
        not-so-complete object-based) interface to Tk.  -josh

3/4     ONLY 3 DAYS UNTIL:

3/4   can whoever took the 2nd csua office wristpad please return it?
        Thanks  --  The people who use the office machines
        \_chill, it's on the monitor near the lightsw -aaron

3/4     /usr/local/csua/antique now has some old old CSUA historical files...
        (I moved them over from the csua@cory account) -boss

3/3     I need advice : Which do you go for when choosing between nice beautiful
        C++ code which may not run as fast, or quick dirty C-type hack code that
        runs about 10% more efficiently?
        (Time is important, but so are aesthetics)  -bwli
        \_ C >>>> C++
           \_ in the same way that Fortran >>>> C.  Get a clue.
         \_ no, in the same way kludgy >>>> way fuckin' kludgy
        \_ If the 10% more efficient is critical to the project, then
           you don't have much choice, but if it is not critical then
           a decent programmer wouldn't hack it into dirty C-type code.
           \_ Thanx -bwli
        \_ If your C is so ugly, why do you think you can make your C++
           so beautiful?
          *\_ Hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Actually, I was
           exagerating (on both ends) to make it more interesting. -bwli
        \_ I find it significant that Clancy seems to be the only professor
           that even condones C++, let alone likes it (as far as I know).
           \_ Berkeley is heavily invested into C, that's not surprising.
           People who run IBM mainframes like COBOL, too.
          \_ OO is just higher order functions with dynamic
             binding of methods. use Lisp or ML
        \_ yup, assembly's the way to go. :)
        \_ WTF is beautiful C++ code ???
           \_ Please see above (~ 10 lines *).
         \_ there is no such thing
        \_ Real programmers don't use damn languages.  Just type:
            cat - > mybin
          \_ I don't even do that, I write out my 0s and 1s on paper (in pen)
          and then run the program in my head.
          \_ C++ is to C as:
        a) a parasite is to a host organism
        b) lung cancer is to a lung
        c) theod0rk is to soda
        d) Micro$oft's BOB is to operating systems
        e) all of the above
