I love working with C. The power it gives me allows me to write hyper-optimized applications in terms of memory usage. Using it we process terabyte files ridiculously fast using less than 1K of non-program memory.
However, when I don't need to hyper-optimised it is not my first choice due to being way behind other in languages in terms of package management and I'd rather not deal with pointers if I don't have to.
- pnathan 10y agoHave you looked at Rust? It is very good for those design cases.
- throwaway2016a 10y agoRust is definitely on my list of things to learn. I haven't gotten around to it, unfortunately.
