It's interesting to compare this series to the actual source code of sqlite. For example, sqlite uses a LALR parser generator: https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/src/parse.y#L19...

And queries itself to get the schema: https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/802b042f6ef89285bc0e72...

Lots of questions, but the main one is whether we have made any progress with these new toolchains and programming languages w/ respect to performance or robustness. And that may be unfair to ask of what is a genuinely useful tutorial.

`write` can format your disk if a trickster sets LD_PRELOAD to a malicious shared object.

The quintessential project for programming newbies. I implemented it when studying Haskell.

Yes, and I've seen them in production. Once you learn the rules, you can parse them reasonably well in your head but it is still really confusing at a glance.

I'd like more exposition on these claims.

Genuinely, why?

- For new code, all of the functions [here](https://libc.llvm.org/gpu/support.html#libc-gpu-support) you can do without just fine.

- For old code:

  * Your project is large enough that you are likely use using an unsupported libc function somewhere.

  * Your project is small enough that you would benefit from just implementing a new kernel yourself.

I am biased because I avoid the C standard library even on the CPU, but this seems like a technology that raises the floor not the ceiling of what is possible.

ffmpeg has libraries. Why are you forking a separate process to call a single function? This is a very common problem I see in high level languages with poor C interoperability. Although cgo works fine, so what gives? Less code for more problems.
