• Can you use the Phoenix compiler as a more powerful NGEN?

  - by TraumaPony

  In case you don't know of Phoenix, it's a compiler framework from Microsoft that's apparantly going to be the foundation of all their new compilers. It can read in code from CIL, x86, x64, and IA64; and emit code in x86, x64, IA64, or CIL. Can I use it to transform a pure .Net app into a pure native app? By which I mean, it will not have to load any .Net .dll (not even mscoree), and will have the same semantics? This is excluding Reflection, of course.

• Nintendo DS homebrew with Ada?

  - by TraumaPony

  Note: I know very little about the GCC toolchain, so this question may not make much sense. Since GCC includes an Ada front end, and it can emit ARM, and devKitPro is based on GCC, is it possible to use Ada instead of C/C++ for writing code on the DS? Edit: It seems that the target that devKitARM uses is arm-eabi.

• Is there a valid reason for enforcing a maximum width of 80 characters in a code file, this day and

  - by TraumaPony

  Seriously. On a 22" monitor, it only covers maybe a quarter of the screen. I need some ammo to axe down this rule. Edit: I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a limit; I'm just saying, 80 characters is very small.

• Are we in a functional programming fad?

  - by TraumaPony

  I use both functional and imperative languages daily, and it's rather amusing to see the surge of adoption of functional languages from both sides of the fence. It strikes me, however, that it looks rather like a fad. Do you think that it's a fad? I know the reasons for using functional languages at times and imperative languages in others, but do you really think that this trend will continue due to the cliched "many-core" revolution that has been only "18 months from now" since 2004 (sort of like communism's Radiant Future), or do you think that it's only temporary; a fascination of the mainstream developer that will be quickly replaced by the next shiny idea, like Web 3.0 or GPGPU? Note, that I'm not trying to start a flamewar or anything (sorry if it sounds bitter), I'm just curious as to whether people will think functional or functional/imperative languages will become mainstream. Edit: By mainstream, I mean, equal number of programmers to say, Python, Java, C#, etc

• What kind of software development bores you? What do you enjoy?

  - by TraumaPony

  For me, CRUD apps reduce me to tears of boredom. Same with web apps. What I really enjoy are physics simulations, especially astrodynamics and sound/music synthesis. What about you?
