The shortest ooc quine

A few days ago I posted an ooc quine. But while browing HackerNews, I found an even shorter one. The shortest!

Here it is, in its full glory

Can’t see anything? That’s an empty file. It will compile and run just fine. ooc doesn’t require a main function - you can just shove code in there that will run at the program’s initialization. If there’s none, no big deal! It’ll just not run anything.

That’s one nice side-effect of simple design.

(JavaScript is required to see this. Or maybe my stuff broke)

Did you know I also make videos? Check them out on YouTube!

Profiling linkers

In the wake of Why is my Rust build so slow?, developers from the mold and lld linkers reached out, wondering why using their linker didn’t make a big difference.

Of course the answer was “there’s just not that much linking to do”, and so any difference between mold and lld was within a second. GNU ld was lagging way behind, at four seconds or so.
