The REAL EXPERT PROGRAMMING manifesto

[code]
1. MONOSPACE OR GTFO
2. VI OR GTFO, RINSE, REPEAT
3. IF INPUT IS FROM UNTRUSTED SOURCE, CHECK THE SHIT FIRST.  CHECK ALL UNTRUSTED INPUT.  EVERY SINGLE ITEM.  BUFFER OVERFLOWS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED
4. ONE STATEMENT PER LINE, BRACES ARE STATEMENTS
5. JAVA SUCKS
6. SLOW HASKELL IS SLOW
7. IF YOU SEGFAULT, YOU DIE FOR REAL
8. I WOULD PROGRAM IN ASM BUT I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO IN THE 20 YEARS IT WOULD TAKE ME TO WRITE A DECENT PROGRAM IN IT
9. UNIX NEVER DIES
10. GIVE IT AWAY, IT'LL BE CRACKED EVENTUALLY ANYWAY

>>20

When 17 says "portable assembly" it means "C."  Of course real asm isn't portable.

>a whole bunch of nice time-tested tools, software, and libraries that require NO graphics card

Mature,time-tested != cutting edge.  GUI toolkits suck right now but GUI is the future.  Everyone has a graphics card.  Everyone has at least an integrated 3D chipset.  It's a software problem.

Also, my Satori is OVER NINE THOUSAND.
