When not tired and/or lazy, I write software that's used by at most 2 people. Mainly interested in programming language design, compilers and operating systems.

Last Notes npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey @nprofile…m3qg From my understanding, most RISC-V specifications (including SBI) don't expect any kind of input devices or special shortcuts. npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey @npub1sg4…xslc Best thing I could figure out: npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey @npub1ysu…2jyl I think Rust's stdlib only uses POSIX APIs and not general C things like stdio.h, so this doesn't really apply here. Hare also does the same thing on OpenBSD npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey @npub1ysu…2jyl Even without libc, the language itself has a lot of really nasty footguns especially relating to integer promotion and the infamous signed overflow npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey "C is safe if you just program well" and other fairy tales npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey For quite some time I've been thinking about making a "better Java" so a language that would target JVM and be fully compatible with existing Java code but "better". I envisioned null safety, more consistent pattern matching, maybe more expression-oriented syntax, inverted access flags (everything is private final by default) but now that I think about it, is it even useful? Everything other than null safety is just pointless fluff that's "good to have" but that doesn't warrant a new language npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey what if hardware himitsu npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey what happened to my scrollbar npub1rz4czhkjzsjpzu96e25jehs7kprazm9aqvyff2grn90nr34hp4fqcpegf9 Alexey After looking a bit more into Android development, I think I should never touch it again for a few more years
