A point that I rarely see raised is that in mission critical or safety critical applications, exceptions and implicit heap allocations are, with good reason, explicitly banned. So no standard library for you. Which likely implies "no C

Thank you! I know it’s all the rage to say “gee why no v6 yet?”, but that’s a LOT of infrastructure and testing to overhaul… The effort is much appreciated!

The thing that bothers me about Zephyr is that their slack is only accessible if you're employed by one of the big companies, intel, google, freescale etc. I do not believe this is true, nor has it been for quite a long time. As a pr

It’s pretty common when, for example, you’re computing the flows in a bifurcating field. Take 2d laminar flow around a circle. The flow field splits right in the middle. Signed zeros ensure that, along with graceful underflow, the local sol
