  • Tim Sweeney: “ISO obstructs adoption of standards by paywalling them ”

    Similar story as you with ISO18245: the list of merchant category codes (4 digit codes that categorize the world).

    I did pay for the standard. Thankfully there are public lists by visa, mastercard and stripe which also contain private ranges, so my published code shares not just the iso standard but also the matching entries in the other lists.

    I wonder if it could run on this Rust implementation of the CLR I wrote a few years ago: https://github.com/Leowbattle/clr_lite

    Last year I finished the school year early because of the coronavirus lockdown and had too much free time - so I wrote an interpreter for CLR bytecode (https://github.com/Leowbattle/clr_lite). The ECMA-335 standard contained everything I needed to know for that project: documentation of the EXE format, VM instructions, etc.

    I learned a lot doing this project, and I would never have been able to do it without free access to the standard. So I think Tim is right to recognise the value open standards provide to hobbyist programmers.
