- dj_mc_merlin 5y agoI'll admit you have a point. I didn't mean to come off as elitist, but I have never met anyone I'd trust to write a C program that didn't have big obvious bugs that didn't know how to cross compile/statically link a C executable. If you haven't, that means you haven't spent enough time actually coding to be able to feel safe about what you're writing. Which is fine. But then use a language you know or spend more time learning about your tools before complaining. C is simple, everything around it is difficult.
- mypalmike 5y agoI've written C on and off for decades and have not once needed to cross compile. Many of the best game developers spend their lives using C without ever setting up cross compilation. It just seems like an absurd yardstick.
