also I just realized that Brazil did NOT make a programming language entirely in Spanish and call it “Si” and that my professor was making a joke about C… god damn it
this post is probably too nieche but I feel like Lemmy is nerdy enough that enough people will get it lol
I’m talking mostly about corporate software development. You know, the kind of projects that run for 20 years with multiple teams and half a dozen cycles of “let’s outsource everything” - “oh, it sucks, let’s insource everything” - “oh, it’s expensive, let’s outsource everything again”. Doing that in C without major issues is rare.
In that kind of context, safety is everything and performance doesn’t matter.
This is why I don’t run corporate software if I can help it. Ain’t nobody got time nor the battery capacity for that.
