I mean the main and ultimate penultimate usecase for C it’s impetus for existing is writing UNIX and why the man pages got the details for stuff like sys.h and w/e else with the system calls in it so wen the kernel is online one can put in the address of where uname is in the asm code instead of the whole pleb #include <uname.h>

People make it seem like a bunch of kids working at Bell Labs at a time when a sheet of blotter paper the size of a movie poster but made of LSD costed $40 omggggg

Like the reason why in 2025 the operating system called MacOS is still mostly objective-c code from 1985 and the reason why for the duration of your career you’ve had to type NSObject repeatedly, on a Macintosh is the truth about computer science is that for the most part people are stupid, lazy, lack any kind of imagination, original thinking, or anything that resembles passion for digital computers (ie let’s use C for everything full well knowing anything without an AT&T copyright in the header is out of band)

I hate to spoil the party but you can skip all the non-sense and run the jvm inside the erlang abstract machine, use the FFIs, and do the galaxy brain stuff with the scaling, fault tolerance, and lightweight processes!

A stroke that should have killed me suddenly. While being in the worst shape of my life, on the ground with severe vertigo, projectile vomiting, and in the worst physical pain I’d ever been in, the horror really started when I closed my eyes to die and some how woke up…

I had no idea about life saving medicine or what happens when you’re close to death and it’s their job to save your life on a different kind of time where they tell you what is going to be done to you… It’s really a treat being told that you’re getting a spinal tap in the same 5 minute window that you get the spinal tap…

A custom Illumos that uses Sun C is instead of GCC and all the copyrighted stuff they replaced with FOSS got shitported back in town because who doesn’t like seeing AT&T notices from the 80s at the top of headers?!?

Clojure it’s so so good and on the jvm, js, and even with C… if the grain only knew there was more to this than following trends…
