Programming

Next steps

What I eagerly want to do next

• Try my hand at SNOBOL4
• Create a toy compiler with LLVM and GCC
• Adopt all testing produceres described for SQLite, specially setting up AFL++ to fuzz test my code
• Try my hand at cross compilation
• Make my first installer for Windows
• Use PGO with actual improvements
• Code coverage
• Some sort of documentation generation
• Unit tests, integration tests
• Learn what is CI/CD
• Software bill of materials (SBOM) production
• Do a n-split Ragel thing
• Experiments with SO_REUSEPORT
• Figure out code formatting for groff (already done ad nauseum by many people)
• Document and refine my dependency calculation for m4 and pic, and resource management for groff and gamedev

What terrifies me

• Binary compatibility
• Logging

Problems

• Automatic .gitignore for generated code

Flaws in my formation

• Ability to calculate time complexity of an algorithm
• Basic knowledge of concurrency primitives such as mutexes and semaphores
