Poll: Do you know C? 15 years ago

You're compiling C to LISP, and you're not even telling us??? This being HN, I have to quote you for everybody's benefit:

"Vacietis aims to be a C99 to Common Lisp compiler that produces efficient programs that easily interoperate with Lisp functions, and in addition to offer the introspection, debugging and type-safety features of Common Lisp to C programmers."

Poll: Do you know C? 15 years ago

My main language is Java these days, but I use lots of other languages as well (e.g. Perl, Python, R, sh, MATLAB, ...). However, C remains the language that I know most thoroughly, and I've used it since 1989.

Ask HN: Have you ever used Dynamic programming in your dev job? 16 years ago

- edit distance for various projects (OCR post-correction, spelling correction, word alignment of bilingual text) - Viterbi algorithm in text part-of-speech disambiguation - Viterbi algorithm in speech recognition decoder

(That's admittedly not a lot of DP since the days I've started to code for $$ as a student in 1994.)

"As of this writing, Cambridge seems to be the intellectual capital of the world."

That can be said for at least two Cambridges.
