   There reference counting has an advantage of being deterministic, so it is easier to reason about than full garbage collection

   I wrote all my code in Pascal to have fast compilation With reference counted strings/arrays, it has solved almost all memory safety issues for me.

   That is just one equation. That is always easy I need to solve quadratic equation s . It is much harder. Like a1 x y + b1 x + c1 y + d1 = 0 a2 y z + b2 y + c2 z + d2 = 0 a3 z x + b3 z + c3 x + d3 = 0 Given a,b,c,d, solve it for x,y,z. And i

    I have been saving the planet by writing all my code in Pascal From that paper, only C and Pascal, are optimal for energy and memory usage. And Pascal has memory safe strings with reference counting. C is just too unsafe. 70% of all securi

    I want the opposite for 2. Keep all my photos in the directory hierarchy, but have a tool to sort them and sync them between devices If I sync it with rsync, I might accidentally delete important files. Git would sync properly, but then it

    That is why I maintain my own JSON parser. First I started with the parse from FreePascal's standard library. Then I ran test cases on it, and there were lots of issues I had to patch. First it was accepting all kinds of numbers, so I
