To BGB / cr88192, your are the same person that replied to me in that thread, right? Back in 2009?

 Looks like me, but off-hand I don't remember the contents of this thread, and this mostly predates my current projects...
 At the time, I would have been taking college classes, roughly mid 20s.
  IIRC, projects I was working on at that time:
   A 3D engine (*);
   A VM for a JavaScript/ActionScript inspired language;
     Was being used as a scripting language for the 3D engine project.
   ...
 At this time, it would have still been mostly a Doom 3 clone; as I didn't switch over to trying to imitate Minecraft until several years later.
  This was also sometime around the time I wrote the first version of BGBCC, based on a fork of the previous VM, modified to be able to parse C. However, initially, it wasn't very successful, and ended up mostly relegated to be a header-parser tool and FFI generator.
 I had used garbage collectors and similar more often back then, but have since largely ended up moving away from GC, as it is difficult to make it "not suck".
  I have been on usenet for a while...
 

Well done. Btw, do you happen to know anything about DirectX 12? I know OpenGL, but I might need to move into DirectX land...
