[39:48][Enable GetTokenRaw() to handle all end-of-line variants][:parsing]
[43:10][Introduce a new GetToken() which ignores spacing, end-of-line and comments, and make GetTokenRaw() preserve quotation marks around strings][:parsing]

[1:48:14][Fix compile errors][:"asset system" :parsing]
[1:53:50][Q&A][:speech]
[1:54:52][@read_my_code][Q: How would you print an enum tag as a string in C?][:language]
[1:57:00][@said6289][Q: Is there a reason you don't (as far as I've seen) write bail out style functions to avoid too much nesting of if-else blocks?]
[1:58:41][@read_my_code][Q: Would you be willing to use :metaprogramming and templates to do that job? Just because you absolutely have to]
[1:59:07][@centhusiast][Q: Can the difference between the pointers have undefined behavior? I guess we use it for the count variable][:language]
[2:02:44][@cultofrig][Q: How do you feel about guidelines encouraging coupling enums with guards and label arrays (e.g. static assertions on min and max enum values and macros to establish enums creating corresponding label arrays)][:language]
[2:03:12][@Miblo][Q: If I understand right, @insobot only really echos stuff from HMN IRC to twitch IRC. However, the mapping between HMN/#hero and twitch/#handmade_hero is, I believe, hardcoded, so maybe it could readily be mapped the other way]
[2:03:26][@desuused][Q: Regarding enum strings, would you be happy if you could write procedural macros to solve this problem?][:language]
[2:04:12][@blamebauer][Q: As a student who is being taught C++ in college, can you explain to me why you think it is a terrible :language?]
[2:07:18][@programgamer][Q: Off-topic, but what is your stance on compile-time code generation like in D?][:language]
[2:07:34][@cultofrig][Q: About label arrays: arrays of the same size of the enum with strings corresponding to the label of each enum item (for contiguous enums) or couples of label and offset (for sparse valued enums)][:language]
[2:08:34][Wrap it up][:speech]
