Which of these two giants of computing is a better programmer? Forget about which one of them is more mentally ill or more insane or more influential... I'm interested in which of them is a better programmer.
Well?
PS: Bonus points if you can post some cool source code from either of the two gentlemen.
terry
One of them wrote an OS, the other desperately attaches to someone else's OS in an attempt to stay relevant.
does Stallman even program anymore? where can I see his git commits?
I'm also curious about this. Does he do any work on that laptop, or just answer emails all day?
Going to have to go with this logic.
>MIT nigger vs some no name from arizona
well you can't write an OS in Lisp
I think he just poses for pictures with his laptop, hoping shutterstock offers him some money.
That's where you're wrong
This is a pretty cool snippet:
U0 Main()
{
I64 x1=0,y1=0,x2=0,y2=0,i=1,c=0;
I64 vx1=0,vy1=0,vx2=0,vy2=0;
CDC *dc=DCAlias;
while (!ScanChar) {
if (!--i) {
i=1000;
dc->color=c++&15;
}
GrLine(dc,x1,y1,x2,y2);
vx1=ClampI64(vx1+SignI64(RandI16),-5,5);
vy1=ClampI64(vy1+SignI64(RandI16),-5,5);
vx2=ClampI64(vx2+SignI64(RandI16),-5,5);
vy2=ClampI64(vy2+SignI64(RandI16),-5,5);
x1=ClampI64(x1+vx1,0,Fs->pix_width-1);
y1=ClampI64(y1+vy1,0,Fs->pix_height-1);
x2=ClampI64(x2+vx2,0,Fs->pix_width-1);
y2=ClampI64(y2+vy2,0,Fs->pix_height-1);
Sleep(1); //Replace this with Yield() ort Sleep(0) and see what happens!
}
DCFill(dc);
DCDel(dc);
}
Main;

The other one wrote this:
A parrot once had sex with me. I did not recognize the act as sex until it was explained to me afterward, but being stroked on the hand by his soft belly feathers was so pleasurable that I yearn for another chance. I have a photo of that act; should I go to prison for it?
Take a guess who is the more competent of those two when it comes to programming.
not an argument
It's pretty telling to me.
They both have autism but Terry applies his in a much more functional way.
They're both great. This either or mentality is just as repulsive as choosing a political identity. Do you realize everyone has strengths and weaknesses?
Honestly, I think Terry is a better programmer. At least he made an OS with a compiler, while Stallman just tries to act as if GNU is relevant at all.
>left is literally hitler
>right is literally stalin
>Bool PrsAsmImm(CCmpCtrl *cc,CAsmArg *arg)
Definitely Terry wrote this. RMS doesn't even know how to pass a pointer anymore.
Which one would be the better father?
Stallman doesn't know how to program beyond the basics taught in any basic programming uni course. Stallman is a politician of sorts.
Stallman.
Didn't Stallman develop GCC? He was probably a way better programmer than Terry back in the day.
>develop GCC
he told ppl what to write and oversaw it for a few years.
I think Stallman wins by default
>I think Stallman wins by default
How so? He'd probably rape his kid. I don't think Terry;s violent.
I can imagine RMS feeding his kids with feet fungus
Stallmann, for sure.
Just imagined the daily routine of Davis' hypothetical kids; spending their days with daddy, a 48-year old neet yelling at CIA niggers in his mothers basement kek.
Stallmann would at least take them to all the cozy places he usually takes his laptop to...
Didn't Stallman implement a whole bunch of stuff at the same rate as a team of programmers because they decided to keep their stuff closed once?
he already made more than enough to NEET off of, and still makes some money from speeches and talks
Terry is sexier
One of them got a MacArthur genius grant and 15 honorary doctorates. The other one is a schizo. I wonder...
Stallman no question.
Lol
One of them wrote a text editor.
The other one wrote an OS that's less useful that forementioned text editor.
One of them started an ideology with religious-like following.
The other one calls everyone he doesn't like nigger cattle.
Omg is Cuñado a meme now
