Personally I wouldn't make one part of the name linked to the underlying development language, we make software for the users, and the source is often not part of something users have to deal with. Just as is sounds good in my opinion.
And in the end, it feels good and fresh. Just like any other (meaningful) skill, decent social skills put forth significant effects on one's awareness of their local surroundings, and with good social skills, invaluable experiences. I've struggled with it for the best half of my life, and later ignored the need to take action and improve. I moved on to finding out the subtle beauty of just pulling up a conversation with a completely new person, of course our perspectives and opinions might differ, and that's where I see the beauty and without it, the world wouldn't have been so dynamic so I think.
Such a transparent and clear post, therefore first, Thank you! Based on my experience with propitiatory IoT devices and protocols, vendors seem to be kind of unwary when it comes to potential security vulnerabilities and exploits in their protocol or firmware of the devices. As I understand, it's now all on us consumers to deliberately report insights to regulatory authorities and respective lawyers and hope everything comes together.
I'm not a mathematician but I enjoy maths both as an anchor to an objective reality and as an art of expression (or rather compression of axiomatic ideas into tight and elegant
equations). A shift in the framework of thinking can radically change viewpoints we have adopted so far (if it's not the otherwise) however often to come off as controversial.
It reminds me of my old days in high-school when I was intrigued by unconventional ways of doing maths, I often had the habit of mixing many different domains into one derivation (which often led to people interpreting it as nonsense). I realize that even if I were "right", whether it is or not is dependent on a subjective, mutual, and shared convention.
> They feel strongly drawn to C's virtues, often explicitly in contrast to other languages
Can someone point me to which set of virtues you are talking about here? Simplicity? Value semantics and imperatives, little abstractions over what the computer OS is actually doing? Manual control over almost everything being done? Are such "virtues" safe and dignifying under an universal context of computer programming? Isn't it a bit dangerous to let such Virtues take over in modern programming dealing with heavy abstraction layers because of the yield in complexity of modern hardware?
Last time I checked on blink, it couldn't run dynamic executables (or ELFs that run with the dynamic interpreter), and would result in a segfault. How has it improved since then?
