• My Fave Quote of the Week

    My fave quote of the week:

    "Language like Rust (or Go or C# or worse) and that trend are why we need multiple gigahertz computers
    with tens of gigabytes of RAM to run a word processor."

    There are only 10 programming languages worthy of being called such:

    C and Assembly

    Spoken like a true kiddie coder. And once again, you have no original
    opinions. You only echo the opinions of others.

    FYI, speed is not the only criteria to consider. For a given coding project, speed may not even be in the top 3.

    The stated goal of this particular project is to produce SAFER code for critical internet infrastructure. The 5% speed difference is a trivial difference. The contest should be 20K for C programmers to produce code as
    safe as Rust code.

    And once again. Grow up.
