I think this is just because law and taxes are more forgiving in the US for companies to strive and gain advantage against companies in Europe. Companies do well there, but only some people do. This difference is clear and large even when i

It's not that only C programs are useful. It's that subtle mistakes on C result in more catastrophic vulnerabilities. Make a mistake in application code in a language like, say Java, and you'll end up with an exception.

TDD meets LLM-driven API design. I recall that early on a coworker was saying that ChatGPT hallucinated a simpler API than the one we offered, albeit with some easy to fix errors and extra assumptions that could've been nicer defaults

It's crazy, you don't even need to know about electricity after you see a thermal camera on them operating at full load. I'm surprised they can be sold to the general public, the reports of cables melting plus the high temps

Trying to get everything into std requires a lot of work that I think gets harder when considering Rust's goals of being low level and paying only for what you use. Not having finalised some aspects of the language itself would also sl

If all the code was crammed into the std library it'd be fine? Functions need to build on top of simpler functions to be able to abstract problems and tackle them one at a time. There's innate complexity around and without trying

This problem of law being essentially an append only repository of amendments is not unique to the UK. I'd be cool to have a system that just needs to be fed "patches" in an append only way instead of having to scatter except
