Ask Slashdot: How Can I Make My Own Vaporware Real?
Long-time Slashdot reader renuk007 is a retired Unix/Linux systems programmer with the ultimate question:
After retiring I started a second career as a teacher -- and I'm loving it. My problem: I designed a (I feel) wonderful new language compiler, but implementing it will take me another ten years if I have to do it part-time.
Linus Torvalds was able to leverage the enthusiasm of the Internet to make Linux exist, but 1990 was a more innocent time. How does it work today? Any thoughts?
Or, to put it another way, how can you build a community to bring your ideas to light? Leave your best thoughts and suggestions in the comments. How can you make your own vaporware real?

> The static nature of C makes it really slow unless you're writing very static code with very simple data.
Of the 500 fastest supercomputers in the world, 500 are C-based systems. C is the ONLY language used by super-fast systems.
>Implementing relocatable memory in C is basically impossible
Please see - well anything under /usr/lib.
Otherwise, it sounds like basically you're trying to say "I forget to call free() after I malloc some memory".
