1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: win [MIT; now common everywhere] 1. vi. To succeed. A program wins if no unexpected conditions arise, or (especially) if it is sufficiently robust to take exceptions in stride. 2. n. Success, or a specific instance thereof. A pleasing outcome. ?So it turned out I could use a lexer generator instead of hand-coding my own pattern recognizer. What a win!? Emphatic forms: moby win, super win, hyper-win (often used interjectively as a reply). For some reason suitable win is also common at MIT, usually in reference to a satisfactory solution to a problem. Oppose lose; see also big win, which isn't quite just an intensification of win.
