Ugh... these kinds of extreme posts really piss me off. Yes, C is unsafe. Yes, there are safer higher level languages, but there's a reason C is used. Because it's REALLY freaking fast, and allows you to actually tune…
> And much of the time, I find it faster and easier to fix a broken makefile than to fix broken autohell. Exactly. 99% of the time, a broken makefile simply has an incorrect linker path or cflag. When it's not a path,…
> Make is fairly easy to learn, at least in its basic form. Autoconf is horrendous. I completely agree. Make is extremely flexible on it's own. I don't understand the need to abstract the build system to generate…
Frankly, I don't use a lot of crazy libs or IDEs when writing C code. Most of my projects consist of one or two external libs and a few simple makefiles. I use Vim and clang/gcc for compiling and lldb/gdb for debugging.…
The issue with undefined behavior is it's kind of hard to... well... define. It's an odd combination of unsafe memory, float/integer rollover, and rules with memory allocation. I wasn't quite sure how to clearly state…
Ehh, you can never have too much C! ;)
Huh, I've never actually heard of using OCaml for system programming. Interesting!
Hey author of the slides here, glad you liked it :D I used http://remarkjs.com/ to make the slides. All you have to do is include the script, add a textfield with your content in markdown and it automatically converts…
