Honestly though, I searched for at least 6 months before my brother in law was like “I might be able to recommend you to a guy I know at a company I used to work at” and within the month I was hired.

when I’m the caller I sweat a little

I too much prefer to send a text or email.

Yeah, I saw it in IMAX this morning, and it was excellent

The definition of famous is quite literally “known about by many people”

Aha, that makes this all make more sense, thanks.

Is there something in particular they are waiting for?

I agree, though you’d need to make sure it isn’t something that a human could notice and mistake as a PR convention for your repo, and then mimic

It’s certainly different than C, but IMO Rust’s type system is also a dramatic improvement.

No no you misunderstand. The literal servers are oxidising

I mean, I find the tech fascinating and probably would like it, except that I hate the way it was created, the way it is peddled, the things it is used for, the companies who use it, the way it “talks”, the impact it has had on society, the impact it has on the environment, the way it is monetised, and the companies who own it.

And all that makes it difficult to “just appreciate the tech”

It seems to me to be a good thing if MAGA is fracturing? I’d be more concerned if they were unified in hiding behind one scapegoat, to avoid repercussions from the Epstein files

Wow zig has u0 and i0

Tbf, unsigned void makes more sense than signed void

I highly agree with the sentiment. Learning languages of different paradigms is sort of like travelling to visit other cultures to make you a more rounded, better person. Learn a functional language (lisp/Haskell). Learn a concatenative language (forth/Factor). Learn a logical language (Prolog/?). Heck even learn an assembly! (I suggest RISC-V).

A few good reasons, the first being that brand new operating systems don’t get written all that often. But even if they were, functional languages focus a lot on abstractions, making them generally higher level languages and so not fast enough to compete with C.

Having said that, Rust’s design is quite inspired by functional languages in many ways, and it is indeed being used in operating systems.

You spelled it right but pronounced it wrong

Ah yes I also found macro syntax like vec![ and println!( to be a bit jarring at first. However I don’t know if I would say that C’s approach to macros is any nicer, with it’s #define magic

The majority of its syntax is very similar to many other languages. Can you give an example of a language with pretty syntax?

Rockstar is, in fact it is even supported on code.golf so you can try it and compete!
