This post is not about that story. This post is about a comment made by one of the readers in the forum where I saw it.
I'm receiving lots of recommendations via the HN item, I will need to vet and categorise them, but they are mostly looking great. Here, unvetted and uncategorised are some:
In Part 2 article I'll describe how I personally would write the code specified in Part 1. I'm not claiming this is in any sense objectively the best, and I'm certainly not suggesting it's the only.
I've now stopped accepting new versions, so please don't send me any more. However, there has been such a strong reaction to this that I intend to offer another opportunity for people to write simple code and have it analysed and compared with others.
