I'm feeling a bit of programming culture-shock at work. A lot of things are very different here than what I'm used to:
- Premptive multi-threading is frowned upon because of the cost of context switching and all the trouble it can get you into. So forget everything you learned in CS342. Most of our stuff has a single thread that processes events as they happen.
- No STL is to be seen anywhere. Because the program for our main product must live on a 16MB flash disk, space is at a premium. Heavy use of STL would bloat the code too much to be used.
- Instead we use a home grown class library called wvstreams that is taking me some time to get used to.
