This kind of gratuitous remark could easily scale into a flamewar.
Let's avoid asserting "best tools" because everyone has his own tastes
and constraints. But still, emacs > vi. :)


I'm not familiar with ODE's core yet, but it would be cool if the
allocations could be abstracted like this:

http://heaplayers.org/

This way it's easier to plug your own optimized memory management code
into the library. At least on the crytical parts.
