Java is a bad example since it could (theoretically) do all kinds of optimizations based on runtime profiling under the hood. It also has features like deduplication, so your string might use no additional memory at all.

There's no reason to believe that this would get rid of ads in the long run. Once the big publishers have established such a payment model, what keeps them from adding ads on top of it? You pay $5 for printed newspapers and magazines,

I don't know, that's the job of the tax authorities. They use company cars, they always drive back to their office, it's probably easy to check their books and see if their spendings on fuel match the declared rides.

There's no way you can do what autotools does in a Makefile without implementing half of autotools yourself. How do you check for headers? How do you check for functions? How do you test if qsort_r expects (*)(void*, const void*,
