Open Source Sucks!

September 11th, 2006

It’s been a couple of weeks since I released my parser generator for Parsing Expression Grammars. I haven’t gotten any email about it, even though it’s been downloaded 176 times. Optimist that I am, I’ll assume that’s because I’m such a super duper programmer that everything works perfectly for everyone who downloads it. Of course, I’m a little put out at the lack of fulsome and adulatory fan mail. I thought that releasing something on SourceForge would make me as famous as Linus!

    As do I. The lack of hate mail is a good thing. Remember that.
