Its about the type of operations the compiler allow you to do, more or less. Like sharing mutable references, that can be independently changed in a 'hard to keep track of'- manner. Other factors the compiler tries eliminate include buffer overruns and int overflows e.t.c.

Rust for example sometimes makes trivial things a royal pain, see linked lists for example. It also has a gaping microdependency/supply chain attack prone ecosystem, and the compiler interface is also not stable (afaik, caused some issues in linux). There is also no spec.

I have experience of both, and i love both, but C is my fav. Its often trivial to imagine the codegen with C, and there are no shortage of quality compilers. The language is also small enough that implementing a compiler is actually feasible.

Man kate is such a banger.

Dishonest and misleading. gdb ./main.elf, break 45. Learn your tools. Optimize for learning. Select tools that generalize. Avoid lock-in.

Absolutely this. It almost seems like a controversial opinion sometimes, but microdependencies is a code smell imo. This could largely be improved by providing a more extended standard lib, at the cost of innovation and velocity maybe. I found this interesting: https://blessed.rs/crates

People like you should be in leadership positions. The landscape rewards quick solutions, and quick solutions are rarely good solutions. "Whatever works" might still be a bad solution, just look at electron and that entire ecosystem.

Interesting. Im curious, what are some key areas of math that you think is the most interesting/useful for software engineering (that you would personally recommend learning)?

I will likely have some spare time in the following months and i currently plan to spend it on deepening my senses related to linear algebra and analysis.

I need that story

For those wondering, this seems to be MIT licensed. I didnt check all components.

I think you are misguided. Given your level of experience, you are not in a position to spew hot takes on software architecture.

There is something else underneath this. Did you try to use linux or something?

General advice when it comes to software is to just start. There are always different paths, depending on what type of programmer you are. My opiniom: choose simple, not easy.

This is terrible advice. Communication is the solution.

Very cool! This is the kind of stuff i want to see. Is AVR still the best choice for this? Any Risc-V ICs that can fill this type of role yet?
