so the generic (handmade) code would be just easy and small, the code generator would actually produce code reserving the memory to use all of it "on demand" even

Agemixer (01:33:57)
in fact if you were a damn good programmer, you can make it the machine generate the required optimized code for different situations, out of a generic algo feed to that little "AI"

hahahaha. a future discipline will bring these things together, i'll call it --- "computer science"

mirrorbird (01:30:18)
it's funny because functional nerds do it to get to the MATHEMATICAL TRUTH but cpu nerds do it to save 3 T-states

sorry about that mir, my techs would be not visible for a casual tracker composer but that's what will be included innit technically sorry confusing terminology

this Galaxians man is surely unrolling his draw routine for every sprite to avoid having to actually *follow a pointer* to get graphics

mirrorbird (01:28:41)
anyway it was meant to be a joke, i tried!

currying is something along the lines of: if you have a function call x(a,b) then you can make part of it 'constant' and do xa(b)

Agemixer (01:27:22)
idk "currying" but yeah, sounds alike unrolled (situation based optimizations possible)

mirrorbird (01:26:57)
i've seen you confuse the hell out of Rapture too, he's a composer, not a frequency analyzer
