What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI really like reading other peoples code (even more when the topic/language/whatever is interesting to me) even if it is only some small proof-of-concept or idea / unfinished code, i.e. not really useable as-is.
For really small tests/examples, I have a playground directory: https://github.com/albertz/playground
Everything else which is slightly more than a single file or has some other justification to be an own project, I just created a repo for it. https://github.com/albertz http://www.az2000.de/projects/
In Open sourcing all my private projectsWhat parts of C99?
It is quite incomplete. But on the other side a bit loosely on the grammar, so it might work.
I wasn't able yet to interpret any bigger projects. One goal was to interpret CPython (https://github.com/albertz/PyCPython) and I got pretty far but I lost interest in it a bit (I remember that I got stuck when interpreting `goto` because there was no easy equivalent in Python, but I found a solution recently: https://github.com/albertz/playground/blob/master/py_goto.py).
I successfully used this however to create ctypes interfaces for header files on the fly. E.g. https://github.com/albertz/PySDL uses it.
And for doing some analytics, it might also work good enough.
In You used Python for what?
