Some recently asked on Hacker News “ What is the best code base you ever worked on?” and a couple people chimed in with Cocotron here:

Unfortunately the economics of Cocotron don’t really work out, there aren’t enough people who want to port from Mac to PC in this fashion. I did implement a ton of it, but …
- I wasn’t entirely alone, there were others making important contributions.
- There is no API design, if you stick to the existing design this make it a lot easier than trying to be creative.
- There is no organization overhead, I was just writing code and pushing it, no discussion.
Thanks to Lou for pointing this HN post out to me!
