- qwertyuiop924 10y agois this the real life is it just PHP caught in the UNIX no escape from the grasp of C Open your eyes: Rust's how to avoid UB I'm just a programmer I need no sympathy Because I write in Lisp, write in Scheme, write in Haskell and in C Any way you choose a lang, doesn't really matter to me, to me Init just killed a proc put my keyboard in my hand, kill -9, now it's dead Init, bootup had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away Init... Ooh oohooh ooh Didn't mean to make you segfault if the system's not back again this time tomorrow. fresh install, fresh install as if nothing really matters ...And this is the point where I run out of ideas.
