On: A small but complete JavaScript engine

Oh man. I had to deal with programs organized this way when you were my manager and I had tons of maintenance concerns :D

Fun to run into you, Geo!

Mate. You didn’t have to do anything. You got to do whatever you wanted and you wanted “smarter coworkers” who didn’t use PHP.

But I stand by what I said now and nearly a decade ago, and now try to be blunt: Fabrice Bellard didn’t organise quickjs this way because he isn’t as smart as you. He did it because it makes things easier for him to write quickjs and qemu and tcc and ffmpeg and all sorts of other stuff used by all sorts of other people. And if you ever figure out how to learn from watching people who can do things you cannot, I think you could be an amazing programmer.

All the best.

Oh, I would never compare myself to him and can only learn (a ton) from someone like him who can indeed do many things I cannot. Just something I found curious, I'm sure he has a good reason for it.

> who can indeed do many things I cannot

No. This is exactly my point.

You can do it too, you just might need to organize your code this way to do it.
