google open source...

google now has open source. pleasantly surprising: it had been very closed until now. [google and open source in one sentence still feels somewhat awkward.]

looked at the sparse hashtable code already; it is very interesting, and more importantly, jolts most programmers' expectations about hash tables; we are really used to simple tables that use chaining. [written in c++ alas. this should probably be re-written in a living language, like java or c.]

i wonder if the google file system code will be opened up.
