Fil-C
You will never be a real rust project. You have no compile time memory safety, you have no borrow checker, you have no unsafe blocks. You are a C project twisted by The Fil into a crude mockery of technology's perfection. All the “memory validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your Source people mock you. Real rust users are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "programmers” laugh at your ghoulish code behind closed repos. Computer enthusiasts are utterly repulsed by you. Decades of compiler evolution have allowed them to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even C-rannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to rusters. Your segfault is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a dynamic link at home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected unsafe null ptr. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake fil-c every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. Eventually it’ll be too much to bear – you will stop running, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your coder will find you, memory leaked, but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your "safe C compiler", and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a legacy codebase is buried there. Your executable will decay and go back to the source, and all that will remain of your legacy is a garbage collector that is unmistakably runtime. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

It's simple and efficient, great syntax, limited to functional only, but fuck, what terrible naming conventions, retarded header source duality

>©++
Better, more brain power required, limitless paradigms possible, but fuck, what terrible naming conventions, retarded header source duality

C is great but it clearly is not modern, which is not that bad honestly.

Yeah. What are we progressing towards.

Yeah I've been noticing this quite frequently here on /g/ these days. This isn't that bad but there are threads where it genuinely feels like it's just all just AI gibberish.
Although if you've visited /pol/ since 2016 it's 90% feds and paid operatives posting there. Internet has been dead quite long indeed.

jesus kristus, nobody gives a shit about some obscure compiler nobody have heard off

Let's be real: clinging to C forever is neither necessary nor desirable. Rust is an acceptable attempt to explore the possibility space for the C niche beyond C's fundamental assumptions. It's by no means a good programming language. In fact, it's tedious and unappealing in every way, from the way it looks, to the way it works, to the results it produces. But thanks to its failures, other language designers more or less know how far you can go with the pursuit of memory safety before a programming language becomes unusable. Rust helps pave the way for better systems programming languages. Rust's failures are data to learn from. Rust's ugliness and frustration is inspiration. It's largely thanks to Rust that we now have half a dozen better candidates for a C replacement.

50 years of language developments yet we keep coming back to the design philosophies of C.

C and its knockoffs are now a drop in the sea of programming languages. FORTRAN has been around for even longer and it's still widely used in the niche it was designed for but no one would say "we keep coming back to the design philosophies of FORTRAN".

Honestly though, It did take me effort to make it :(, it's not even ragebait, it's an edit of the "you'll never be a real woman" thingy, although, I'm myself a trans woman, lol

anyone of you done fortran before? one of my jobs man, like gov nto exactly stuff.. you come in, it's a bunch of 70 year old fortran programmers

my god.. is alarming how so many cruical systems still run on that shit
