Talk:Self-hosting compiler: Difference between revisions

: I also think this is too big. In particular, I suspect that it's too big ''independent of the length of the code'' as compilation of a language is something that people work on for years. My aim with sizing of Rosetta Code tasks (when I get around to writing them) is that they be short enough to be done in less than 4 hours and long enough to be more than 10 minutes. Too short? Not interesting. Too long? Hardly anyone will try them.

: Mechanically, that chunk of code is also visually too long on the page, and takes up too much of the page's content. However, these are things that it is pretty easy to fix with some mediawiki magic; focus on the complexity problems as they're much more serious. (And don't forget to sign your contributions to talk pages with <tt><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></tt> so everyone doesn't get confused. Poking back through the page history to see who said what gets a little tiresome. ;-)) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 07:53, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
