Fug, I think I am a cranky old fart type already because I like to write code closer to the metal instead of using all the fancy new tooling.
Maybe I should swallow my pride and install vscode and try copilot or whatever it is kids these days are using.
Also I'm still using nano for all my text editing so I might be imposing a deeper limitation on myself than most minimalists. :P
@mauve The lower level you are, the less you have to worry about other peoples' code!
I just wish C was better.
@j3rn @mauve Can I show y'all this thing of mine? https://github.com/akkartik/mu
Low level: check (program with registers but get good error messages when you make mistakes)
Better C: check (memory-safe like Rust)
Few layers: check (exactly 3, and each built strictly using lower layers)
Here's a paper that tries to lay it all out: https://akkartik.name/akkartik-convivial-20200607.pdf
@mauve @j3rn You mean my paper? Would LaTeX sources help?
