alt Hacker NewsHis project is cool. Students could use it as an example of porting code. Companies could switch to it, if it works. There are hundreds of reasons why people may want it, so it's awesome he's publishing one. Something needs to be done to get interest and then adoption.
Let me just point out:
The project is not cool. This is not a new idea, and there is nothing special.
Students won't use it as an example of porting code. I am not aware "porting code" is part of standard software engineering or computer science curriculum. That's not the kind of thing being taught in schools.
Companies won't switch to it unless their CTOs are either insane or incompetent.
