I've seen a movie where a cop gives a warning to one of the character and actually enters the warning into the system so that warnings are tracked. The guy is a bad dude that does not want to leave a trace so ends up killing the cop. I

Yet you reply to an article that defines functions as variables, which I've seen a lot of developers do usually for no good reason at all. To me, that's a much common and worse practice with regards to greppability than splitting

Yes my algorithm is, for basic & general question: Stack Overflow. For specific questions related to a particular technology: look for the specific Discourse (or forum equivalent) site. Otherwise, discord as last resort.

@cImport is on the chopping block though [0]. You will still be able to import c files but it will require a little more work. This is because they want this functionality out of the language so they can remove libclang dependency. [0]: ht

Andreas (the author of ladybird) started a language[0] that would be memory-safe and in which he would eventually write SerenityOS (and I assume LadyBird too). He hasn't committed to it for 6 months now so not sure what the status is.
