No, the number one barrier is those who answer nearly every
thread - with misinformation, usually along the lines of  "I don't
know what I'm talking about but I'll post anyway".

I rarely post and filter me out if you like.

To answer Pietro ... Yes, Dis to assembly is common.  That's
what the JITs are - they are fun and instructive to write.  Yes,
there was a good C interpreter back in 10th edition days.  I was
one of the authors.  It is still on my micro-vax.

To answer Uriel ... I believe shand may have a copy of boyd's stuff.

As for Linus, I'm sure he's a nice guy.  I'm quite happy with my
own life thanks.
