This sounds awesome. C is my preferred language and I use it whenever I can and when it makes sense. I'd love to see this code. Is there a public repo for it?

- lanstin 6y agoTry go :) it's got the speed and "here's how the machine works" of C plus a) batteries included for all the modern things, and b) excellent multi-core scheduler. On the grandparent, I never much wrote a ton of C and then compiled, did more "skeleton of the app/lower level bits/stich them together" incremental stuff. So lots of compiling and testing along the way. Not quite Lispy but Lispy for C.
- benwills 6y agoI have, and I do use it for projects (and plan on using it for more). But I also need C for things that require certain performance I'm unable to get out of Go.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoUse Rust, then. Rust is like Go, except its binaries are small and fast (except string formatting, which is very runtime, horribly bloated and merely "fast-ish"). Anything C can do, Rust can do better (the string formatting excepted).
- benwills 6y agoWhat is it with people insisting on using something other than C? You don't know what I'm working on, yet you're insisting I operate completely differently? It's so weird to me.
