> One thing that has been holding me back is the lack of real world examples. I get demotivated when only solving toy problems. I looked at haskell a few months ago and had a similar problem. While I don't mind the toy problems, all

Thanks for the lengthy reply ;) I'm aware of the fact that every type system will reject some valid programs. C evades this problem by letting you "escape" the type system. Many people criticize this without being aware that

This might be a stupid question but anyway... Is there someone well-versed in a statically typed language who would still prefer python most of the time? Could you explain why? For me it's just the opposite. When I program I think abou

I think there is a difference between simple and easy. I would say C is simple but still hard ;) I'm not a native english speaker so take this with a grain of salt.

Why does it rely on Github? Can't it download git repos from other sites?

Thanks for sharing this. Didn't know and i live in EU. It's so disgusting i actually have a sore tummy after visiting the site. I really detest the obnoxious marketing speak like: "We support policy initiatives that are pro-c

A fresh install of Debian also comes with vi and not with vim. It's actually ridiculous if you think about the fact that vim was published 1991

Because the readme says this: "What features does Ox have and why should I use it?". Instead it should say: "This is a toy project of me. Learning about text editors. It got pretty far and is really usable. Give it a try.&quo

Vim is amazing. Try searching for patterns in this enormous file ;) Definitely a hard nut to crack. Personally i see no reason why this is needed (just use vim), but I'm sure a lot of people will use it just because its written in rust

Maybe people in the north are more social ;) I live in Berlin and there it works because every store has a security and you will not be able to enter without mask. Right now I am in Baden-Württemberg and there the customers all wear masks b

At the time C was designed not all machines did represent signed integers in 2 complement. Therefore it was not possible to define behavior for signed overflow. They probably should change that 2020^^ GCC has intrinsics for integer math wit
