I mean you’re not wrong but I’d argue you can get more interesting cve’s using a higher more performant language such as c++. Where there are are ways to include CVE 's from C and introduce new ones to each level of your program using inheritance.
Ah yes, the rust zealots shitting on one of the most important languages of all time… again.
Kinda weird how the number one way to promote Rust has been to downplay C and others.
Found the Cnile
Lol if this is a joke on C and senile… Haha well done.
Okay grandpa, back to bed.
Boomers out past their bed time are hilarious.
Word, Rust shills are the most annoying and shitting of the programming language zealots I’ve seen since the Java Enterprise shilling of the early 200xs. WHat’s worse, their memes aren’t even good, unlike the JS memes.
C is the hardware language N°1 of the high-level languages. If you actually want to know and control what happens in the machine, you write in C. Rust, C++ and all the other abstractions are for people who do not understand how computers and computer memory work.
Edit: grammar
CPUs are for people who don’t know how to melt their own sand into transistors.
Sand is for people who don’t know how to create their own silicon from hydrogen and a neutron emitter.
I wrote loads of firmware in c++ and some on highly constrained boards. You’re just stuck in the past and spewing bs
This is a misconception that’s common among beginner C programmers. They think C is high level assembly and don’t understand the kinds of optimisations modern compilers make. And they think they’re hardcore and don’t make mistakes.
Hope you figure it out eventually.
I’ve written programs in C. I’ve written programs in assembly, for x86 and for microcontrollers. I’ve designed digital logic and programmed it into an FPGA. I’ve built digital logic circuits with transistors.
I’ll still take Go over C any day of the week. If I’m doing embedded, I’ll use TinyGo.
Try Rust
Not everyone is on the Rust bandwagon
Why? I see no reason to go through the hassle of learning yet another language when Go serves my purposes perfectly and I’m happy with it.
Same reason as learning anything. It makes you better at what you do and broadens your horizons.
I’d rather spend my free time doing something I enjoy
You don’t enjoy learning?
Programming languages are tools. I couldn’t care less about learning a new tool just for the sake of learning. My interest in learning tools is exclusively practical - if they help me do my work better.
I find functional languages interesting, but that’s because I find the underlying theory interesting and worth learning for its own sake, not because I actually care about the specific language it’s written in. Even then these days I’d rather learn about woodworking (which is currently my main hobby) than a programming paradigm I’m probably never going to use.
