Walking Backwards
During the past two years, I have been walking completely backwards on the path of technology innovation:
- At one point, I was a proud C#/.Net developer, working on applications that leverage the then-cutting-edge remoting and webservices (WS-*) stuff.
- Then I dived into a mixed bag of standard and managed C++ (V1, an ill-fated language that became legacy not long after its birth), and that's when the long forgotten problems such as memory leak started to haunt me.
- Officially starting today, I will be looking at an XLL project built in C. The project is in such a purist state, it makes class and object look alien. As a result, I immediately plunged myself into the old curse of C-runtime linkages.
