| masak | a couple of new slogans that I've come up with in the past few days | 07:49 | |
| "quasi code never runs" | |||
| (that one is obvious once you start thinking about it) | |||
| "macro-expanded code is always synthetic" -- controversial, but useful, I think | 07:50 | ||
| also thinking of introducing the term "facsimile" to denote code that has been expanded because of a macro | |||
| the term is meant to evoke that something has been copied into an identical clone | 07:51 | ||
| because each concrete macro expansion produces a distinct facsimile, even when everything else is kept the same | |||
| update: jnthn thinks I should use the terms "replicate"/"replica" instead | 09:29 | ||
