No mention of Systems Engineering. Isn't that relevant anymore?

It makes a lot of sense not to chase every trend and hype. It also makes sense not to always strive for the latest thing or to disparage the older (or even the current) version. But beyond that, I cannot follow the author's reasoning.

The music market is likely goint to converge to the following two extreme segments: A) audiences who are mostly interested in idols and lifestyles, where music is merely a means to an end, and B) audiences which are mostly interested in the

It wasn't a complaint, just a fact. Btw. instead of natively porting the Oberon system, it's also possible to just transpile the Oberon code to C and then natively (cross-)compile the C code to the target architecture. That would

Wow, this is just great. As a musician with computer science background (or vice versa) I'm just stunned. E.g. this track blew me away: https://suno.com/song/6478ac9a-00e9-4f7d-81bb-b0991001d236 . The drums and the

by Rochus 2y ago
Newlib is huge and complex (even including old K&R syntax) and adapting the build process to a new system is not trivial. I spent a lot of time with it when I re-targeted chibicc and cparser to EiGen, and finally switched to PDCLib for

Just try to do so. The music is CC licensed, which explicitly allows you to remix, tweak, and build upon the original work, which includes creating derivative works like nightcore versions. Send me a link of the result ;-)

Interesting paper, but the assumptions about C++ were no longer valid in 1998. Namespaces are well suited to structure large projects. It was also possible to do decent memory management even in 1998, as e.g. demonstrated by Qt. On the othe

Interesting paper, thanks. The findings concerning C seem reasonable. I would add the very weak type checker and the silly syntax, of which the majority of people only use a fraction (many C constructs are surprising and not generally known
