And all of this due to the mistaken design decision to stick with the obsolete readiness-based model instead of going with the superior completion-based model.
(You can build a readiness-based API on top of a completion-based API, but not the other way around.)
Absolutely delusional.
code that is readable, auditable, and easy to port
Yeah C is the language that comes to everybody’s mind reading that. /s
C’s simplicity …
Is that simplicity currently in the room with us?
… and widespread adoption make it the best choice for this philosophy.
Ah, the asbestos argument.
If people want to run the latest kernels on hardware that isn’t maintained anymore, they need to toughen up and send patches …
… or they stick to an old kernel for their unmaintained hardware.
Both is fine to me, but that entitled Boomer attitude of “nobody should have nice things, because that would challenge status quo” needs to die.
As someone also working on a minimal programming language, I might share some of the values, but using Go as an implementation language is an immediate turnoff.
Also, not having a single code example on the linked page is super-annoying.
People need to stop that.
