"A single-file C allocator with explicit heaps and tuning knobs" on the frontpage of HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47520807
Oh sounds nice and lightweight, good to have more allocator options
Oh wait this is 10k lines long and one commit and this person's first project
Oh look so many parentheses it makes me, a lisper, feel overwhelmed https://github.com/xtellect/spaces/blob/master/spaces.c#L4713
So tired of bumping into slop everywhere
@xan @vv @cwebber can you name a single person who would unironically type the following line:
Christine Lemmer-Webber

page->hdr.fs.free =
((char
*) ((FSBlock
*) (((char
*) ((Block *) ((char *) (page) +
(((PageSize)
((PageSize) ((PageSize) (sizeof(Page) + (0)) + (PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u))
& ((PageSize) (~((PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)))))))))) - 0)));
page->hdr.fs.end = page->hdr.fs.free + (((char *) page + size - page->hdr.fs.free)
/ (((index) << 3) +
((PageSize)
((PageSize) ((PageSize) (0) + (PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)) &
((PageSize) (~((PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)))))))) * (((index) << 3) +
((PageSize)
((PageSize) ((PageSize) (0) + (PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)) &
((PageSize) (~((PageSize) ((sizeof(double)) - 1u)))))));
i'm not that familiar with c code styles but what what the hecc is this code style. this is so hard to look at

(shitass)((char*) [value]) and then cast back to char*. this makes no sense to me with the level of nesting done here.
it certainly is "creative" (for a lack of a better word)
