you know that saying about how a compiler made by N teams will contain N+1 passes?
like every big program contains a replica of the organizational structure that created it?

It's fun sometimes to see big programs made by one person, because they're a sort of inverse mold of their brain structure.

@foone

I have been told that my code is “unusually focused on static lookup tables” which I guess says something about my brain. I do love big tables and small functions.

@lorddimwit @foone oh, damn, now that I think of it... same!

My most recent project even has a whole file that's just a bunch of lookup tables.

It just seems much nicer than endless switches, especially when the same variants come up in several places. Keeps the actual code short and neat.

@LucaRood @lorddimwit @foone more readable and less error-prone.
