Badly discoverable? Sure. You can vastly improve the remembering part by picking appropriate mnemonics. The Plan 9 keyboard file is a nice start, I think. It follows a set of rules so you don't have to remember a large number of sequen

It doesn't have anything to do with implementation details, even though the weird set of rules from the article implies that. Dump those rules for a much simpler insight: When comparing interfaces, type and value must match to compar

The behaviour of append and the conditions where it will allocate a new backing array are specified and part of the language. Implementation details don't even enter the picture here. You can absolutely rely on that not changing.

This only does what you want if you mush everything together into a single translation unit. Otherwise, you will get duplicate definitions for everything in onefilelib.c.

Maybe they should be. If you can make it work, fixing the bug seems like the obviously superior solution compared to letting it fester and working around it locally with incompatibility declarations, slowly degrading the ecosystem up to the

I disagree that GOPATH is only appropriate for monolithic repos. I think it works nicely with distributed open source development and has some nice properties there that are lacking in "project-based" approaches. It's true th

That explains the memcmp: I just declared it locally before calling it. I think it's not incorrect to do as long as my declaration exactly matches the actual libc one (otherwise, the behaviour is undefined). Not 100% sure, though.

As far as I can tell, the "rename identifiers" feature also renames externally-visible identifers, which should remain the same if the code ought to keep working.

Memmove is frequently cited as an example of a standard library function that can't be implemented using only standard C. It's incorrect, though: the way to do memmove using standard C is to use malloc to allocate a temporary buff
