"System XVI has received unexpected publicity. Several commentators have written these glowing endorsements of System XVI:
This is probably the best example I've seen on how NOT to program in C. Unneeded typedefs, random macros for simple logic. Do not use."
Its nice to see a sense of humor and some humility. There is a healthy ecosystem of Linux distributions that do not use systemd and have no intention of doing so. Slackware, Void, Puppy, Crux and many others.
- m_mueller 11y agoHow can people be that dismissive of typedefs and macros in C? IMO it simply follows the DRY rule to use these techniques wherever a certain structure is reused significantly.
