Re: [R-pkg-devel] Fortune candidate Re: Issue with R Package on CRAN - OpenMP and clang17
If i remember rightly one of the early Algol compilers for the IBM mainframe couldnt be compiled on an IBM mainframe because it was too memory hungry (it had to be cross compiled). The numbers change, but the problems don’t, except that i haven’t run a compile lately that ran out of memory like that.

ROFL! Seconded! The quote itself has a bit of greybeard smell to it, but the "ran out of stuff to delete at 100GB with 1000 out of 6000 targets compiled" had me in stitches.
