@pgoldenbogen i try not to talk about work too much here, because i'm pretty recognizable in my little code niche, but let's say C and Rust.
@pervyoneofnone in some respects, writing Rust is not as exciting as writing C because it makes some types of unsafety harder. but C isn't going to die anytime soon, so it's necessary (and also a lot of fun sometimes). C++ can get in the sea though :P

@SmittenKitten I admit the lambdas make C++ more tolerable, but if I have options like Rust... For me, C is the first thing ported to new architectures, so sometimes that's all there is above assembly. LLVM is somewhat changing that.
@SmittenKitten @pgoldenbogen How do you like Rust? I keep looking into it... But I sometimes need to support platforms that have only a C compiler available.
