Tiny Transactions on Computer Science

Tiny Transactions on Computer Science (TinyToCS) is the premier venue for computer science research of 140 characters or less.

This is an interesting idea: CS papers whose body fits in 140 characters - the abstract may be longer, watering the concept down a bit.

A better idea

For something more than a joke, it would be interesting to have a journal that accepts papers up to, say, 1KB in size. In plain ASCII, naturally. Bibliographies could be included, in the form of comma-separated serial numbers of papers previously published in this journal. These ought to count as part of the 1KB limit.

A variation

I wonder if we could do classic papers in CS in 140 chars or less. Like "Goto is bad, and if you use it, you should feel bad."

Too well-formed!

20 goto 15

Goto is bad
"is bad" is a label

How's this?

Dijkstra says goto
Considered harmful, so use
Call/CC instead

To be a Haiku, the three

To be a Haiku, the three clauses have to be independent:

GOTO considered harmful
As Wirth said of Dijkstra
Using Call/CC instead

Doesn't sound pithy enough...there must be progression in the story, so:

GOTO anywhere

To be a Haiku, the three clauses have to be independent.

Do you have a reference for this? Wikipedia's page on Haiku contains some that don't fulfill this requirement.

I too have seen plenty of counter-examples

to the "independent clause" rule, but am no expert on the subject.

But I'm pretty certain that the syllabic pattern of a Haiku is 5/7/5, not 5/6/7, as you have done...

Much better than mine. I'm not exactly sure what a Haiku looks like, actually.
