FUGC is the GC of Fil-C, a C/C++ language extension for memory-safe, here's the previous post to introduce Fil-C. In this post, we will introduce FUGC briefly. Non-stop, concurrent, mostly parallel FUGC (Fil Unified…

I know many people fear about this article, but here's what you got. For decades, memory safety flaws have fueled countless security incidents across the industry, undermining trust in technology and causing billions in…

GitHub’s CEO recently told developers that if they don’t embrace AI tools like Copilot, they should consider getting out of the profession. It’s framed as advice, but let’s be honest — it’s a veiled threat: buy our AI,…
