      I once saw an issue someone made for some database and said that they were learning Rust and if the database was rewritten in Rust then they could help contribute!

          I care, when I need to compile a lot of stuff multiple times on not-as-fast machines. I’ll create a private repo powered by my workstation just for this. For C stuff I don’t need to, because I can just use my workstations power via distcc.

          Issue is, Rust is not a drop-in replacement for C. The memory safety features are just one part, and since Rust is also a “weakly” functional language, thus its prefered to write such code with it.

            Yeah, it’s not a small change. If there was a simpler way to make C memory-safe, it would have been done decades ago. It’s just a different language too, which is fair given how much younger it is.

              If there was a simpler way to make C memory-safe, it would have been done decades ago.

              We’ve had compile time sanitizers (-fsanitize=blah in gcc/clang) and runtime sanitizers (valgrind) for ages. I don’t know how they stack up against rust’s compile time sanitizers, but it’s something.

              D kind of did that (C pointers are still an option, alongside with the preferred dynamic arrays, which has the memory safety features), and once I’ve seen a C compiler fork that retroactively added D-style memory safety features, although they also very much insisted on the “const by default” mantra.

                I think this is one of those things where there’s no “kind of”. Pointers were added for a reason, you’re probably not going to implement a database very well without them. If you use them, at some scale you’re inevitably going to have memory bugs. Technically, if you were to only use hardcoded printfs, C is memory safe too.

            Anything that is drop-in replacement for C (or C++ for that matter) is going to be awful because of the same compatibility burden, imo

              D is a mostly drop-in replacement (type renaming and such needed though), and it doesn’t have that issue. D even has a mode called BetterC, where the D standard library and the garbage collector is left out.

        Wasn’t that the Loki show, where all of time is run by a boring dystopian corporate bureaucracy?

        Now that I think of it, I guess you’re right, that show probably did do better than Black Adam.

      C Tesseract has this interstellar vibe and brings quotes like the following, but with a totally different meaning:

      • “Years of [compilation error] messages”
      • “People disn’t build this Tesseract”; “Not yet… But one day. Not you and me but people, people who’ve evolved beyond the four dimensions we know”
      • “You’ve got to leave something behind”

    Fun fact, C didn’t have a lot of things like Classes and was often distributed or stored alongside various libraries so it was C Plus (as in addition to) Libraries before it was C++, and somebody decided the next iteration was C with 4 pluses, which forms a #

    I’m not ready for 4D, just let me try out C Lattice on a few smaller projects first.
