`@import` that you have to configure in the build system first. this makes porting projects gradually, file by file, rather cumbersome. now I have to rewrite quite a lot of Chocolate Doom because my port was halfway there and then @cImport

Kotlin <-> Java interop is a totally optional topic you could have skipped over, telling you as a Kotlin developer (who recently had to switch to .NET because Ukrainian job market is fucked up). besides, Java itself isn't that ha

I am so used to thinking that Zig, Rust, and the likes are only viable in niches where C is viable, but no. not anymore at least - once this linker and incremental compilation on other targets land, Zig will become THE C replacement and tha

one concrete thing I can name is "widening" your view on writing. force different styles upon yourself, different constraints. the results will keep being shit for a while, but at least it will be very fun to tonally cosplay Shake

UGH! imagine a BCI chip serving advertisements into your brain directly and recording everything from how you breathe to how you fuck to "personalize" said ads. no, I love technology, but I will never bind a piece of tech directly

CLion in particular is abysmal, yeah. so is RustRover. `rustacean.vim` gave me much better Rust UX than RustRover. although, for Android and serious Kotlin work, IntelliJ IDEA is the IDE and you can do nothing about it. yes, there is Kotl
