Once upon a time I decided to take a look at Vim source code
I did a wc -l, and it gave me like 700000 LOC of *.c and *.h files like what
the fuck?
Do you know how much 700k of SLOC is?
Terry Davis made a reasonably good OS in just 100k of SLOC!
Very easy to hide malicious stuff like the backdoor that was in xz!
That's why I use vi, and am working on my own text editor.. I don't know if
it'll ever be good, but I'm aiming for Vi-like simplicity, suckless code base
and Vim-like features (only most useful ones, the rest would be in a
patch-form, like suckless.org has)
Also when I said "am working", it's more like "was working and will work on it
again", but I have a problem right now which has paused my programming life...
I'm working on it
If you're interested, perhaps one day you'll want to test it out..
I'm not sure about the license thought... as I despise licenses and even having
a copyleft license like CC is getting on my nerves, software should be free,
and non-personal information should be free, too, without any IP or a
requirement for a file "LICENSE".. those are just my 2 cents..
It's a little more complicated than that, let's just say that I don't want
being required to specify a LICENSE file... I'm just curious about the
consequences, would you use a open source peace of software that in the README
says "you can use it for whatever you want with no strings attached, and that's
about it."?
I'm probably rambling needlessly again, that's why none care about what I say
