Not to unnecessarily complain about design, but 23px body text is borderline unusable.

I agree. I enjoy the content of the site, but having to scroll after reading every couple sentences gets to be annoying. I shrunk the text of an article in order to read it; however, that made the code snippets too small to read. I'd advise them to change the ratio of the code-snippet font size and body font size to something closer to 1.

OTOH, I always find it refreshing when websites don't use tiny 10px fonts -- the "I've taken a graphic design course, and I think small fonts are cool" thing. In other words, 23px might be a bit big, but it's better than too small, at least on a 120dpi screen. :-)

Apparently he's using some javascript to stop spam? as well as his comments, and his theme...

The author is not as incompetent as they claim to be. The content is accessible if the bizzare stylesheet is ignored.

Everyone who is interested in the evolution of low level C based languages owes it to himself to track the OOC project. It looks nothing short of spectacular.

Good webpage, I like that it isn't shy about getting right into simple examples of source code. More language websites should be outlined like this.

Thanks for the nice feedback =)

Usually half the reactions are "hey I didn't even read the frontpage but I know all about your language and you're mistaken because you're not the same as C++/Objective-C/D/my mom".

Why isn't Reddit/FriendFeed more like HackerNews :/ ?
