 :You say you've been programming for almost 50 years. I get it. You've got a big swinging dick. So what. I've been programming for over 42 years, have a Masters degree in Computer Science, and am qualified to teach classes on this stuff. I've probably worked on as many diverse projects as you have, in as many or more different computer languages. But I'm not interested in comparing dick sizes. And I'm not interested in pissing contests. 

 :I'm tired of ignoramuses coming on here who know a little somethin about somethin and think they know everything. Just because they weren't exposed to an idea or a concept or a process, they think it doesn't exist and everybody else is wrong. When in fact they are just plain ignorant. 

 :I call bullshit. I've been willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I looked at your cc compiler compiler example further down on this page. It looks totally bogus, like you really don't know what you're talking about. It looks ok until you look a little closer and realize it's gibberish. Like you almost understand the concept, and can cut and paste sections out of old documents and programs, but there's something not quite right. That's true of most of your examples here  on close examination they are wrong, in error, badly flawed. If you can make a working program out of your cc productions example, I will be surprised. 

 :When you make a working version of cc, why don't you post it on the Internet and come back here and post a link to cc so we can all take a look at it, and maybe learn from it. 

 :Until then, you show up here, ridicule my statements and my writing, and keep lording over all of us that you are some sort of master genius who knows better than the rest of us. I bootstrapped my own version of Schorre's metacompiler over 30 years ago, I improved and enhanced it over the years, and I have used it for generating other software tools, including code analysis and generation. I still use, maintain, and port that system. I maintain contacts in academia and industry who are involved in using this metacompiler technology for real-world applications. And I'm constantly learning, trying to keep up with technology and developments in software engineering. 

 :But you see fit to come here and piss on me and piss on my expertise. Who the hell do you think you are? 

 :Put up or shut up. Let's see your working cc system, and then I'll apologize for being a rude old person. I'm working on my own new version of the metacompiler, bare minimum, written in itself, bootstrapping itself to run on it's own minimal virtual machine. I'm doing this as proof-of-concept and also this version should port very quickly to any platform. Any platform. Also, awhile back, after re-reading Schorre's paper for the n-th time, I realized that his version of the metacompiler was originally designed to parse and compile a subset of Algol, so its virtual runtime machine is quaintly skewed, not pure. My new version is pure metacompiler, written in itself, bootstrapping itself, only designed to create bigger, better, badder versions of itself. It's been a backburnered project (some more urgent important projects need my attention first), but when it's done I will post web links to it here, hopefully there will be tutorial stuff too. Maybe finally you can understand bootstrapping, metacompilers, and other concepts discussed here which you insist on denigrating and ridiculing.
