Decker is one of the most insane codebases I've ever seen. It's almost entirely in one file in a very dense format:

I've read and written a lot of C over the decades but this borders on being an IOCCC entry...

On the other hand, while I completely agree about the C codebase, the Javascript is at least comprehensible. I've toyed around with adding a feature or two, and almost got there.

Not even remotely. it's just plain vanilla C, with dense formatting. Whitney makes extensive use of macros to completely change the language.

How is that anything but the work of a masochist. There are absolutely zero reasons to write code like this.
