Reception
Algis Budrys praised the collection, saying "The whole thing is a delight and I commend it to you almost unreservedly."[1]
gollark: "Most" means 4% or more of the time, according to our studies.
gollark: Yes, what ISO said.
gollark: And the abstractions aren't actually that bad either.
gollark: Minoteaur is HIGHLY optimized and ships a mere 40KB of JS.
gollark: I mean, the OS imposes basically no overhead on pure computing tasks, good JS JITs can get you up to 50% of native speed on some things, browsers have ridiculously advanced things going on to optimize rendering, etc.
