This community was created by Drew DeVault. But I think he is not interested, but you can ask him.

Fixed. I have added, then added a picture and link to the picture has replaced the site link.

Thank you. That’s what most of developers need to realize.

Agreed. Teams are a powerful option.

I am working at same company almost 20 yers and yes I burned out several times. I have sport, healthy food and hobbies like learning new tech. These 3 things are enough for me.

Why am I creating these posts? Not because I want to sabotage the infrastructure or do not recognize new technologies and programming languages. Undoubtedly, new languages must appear and they must compete, because this is a natural process, of evolution. I just want to understand the mood of the C community itself. It’s lukewarm on this platform. Nobody is against new languages, and they can be used together with C or as an alternative. But here we are talking about a complete replacement. So, working with memory directly is the job of whom? The chosen ones? The units that will sit behind the compilers? What about the rest? Only fulfill commercial orders? Is this engineering? Is this programming?

I look at how programming has changed over the course of 25 years, what they teach at universities, and where they start. And I came to the conclusion that on a large scale, it was all for the benefit of giant companies or the government.

We must protect the “intimate” knowledge of the foundations and water the roots ourselves. Because they don’t realize, they don’t see that if the roots are not watered, the branches on which they sit will dry out. Therefore, who, if not us? Thanks, everyone!

Interesting, if you subscribed to the C lang community and downvote posts that support C… Who are you? Rust agents? 😁

Languages have advocates, but for Rust, it looks like advocates have a language.

Companies will follow recommendations, but independent C programmers must not follow them. Time will show us. But I believe C will never die.

You can ask about it on the official IRC channel. The creator of the Hare is based there.

Hare has an IRC official channel, but not all have IRC and want to use it. I think that using matrix space/rooms can add life to the Hare community.

Thank you for your support. Yes, and new tech is not always good.

Almost all what is going on today in commercial development is based on knowing frameworks and existing libraries and is far from engineering. I am working in that 19 years and also feel that am not a true engineer, at least at my job. Yes, I developed my own UI client framework, but who know it, who need it except my company… I am not in the 5% of top world engineers. And you know what I think, I do not care. Do f#$*k off, commercial development. I have hobbies, I learn languages that I like and writing code just for fun, solving problems on codewars. I believe that true thech like C and freebsd, emacs and some other not popular in commercial development programming languages is my way. And yes, I am earning money at my job, but at the same time, as I said, I tell all these overhyped shit “do f#@&k off” and going my own way. That’s my life. Have a luck, bro. Find your own path.

Why did you forgot Nim? Is it a player?

Thank you for answer. You helped me.

Thank you for your answer. I am not a professional C developer. I am learning it just for myself and have no production products written in C. And I can imagine how difficult is to support something really huge and commercial. Now C is more for hobby developing and tooling. But I know guys who are making desktop apps in C just for performance.

I advise you to learn something different and hard for you. Only this case will help you to grow and realize a lot of new.

• Rust for hard
• Nim for something different
• C for understanding how things work

All these languages are efficient and forget about hype and popularity. Language does not matter if you have what to write with it.

So warm topic.

I have almost 40+ and what I know definitely that nothing can be true thing in our job. Today you on the wave, in 10 years this wave is deprecated.

I can feel self pity about different desicions but when look at my path with sober mind I see that nothing can be deffirently.

The main thing is energy. If you have it you do not care how old are you. But industry is full of bias about devs age. So let’s they go hell.

I am definitely happy that decided to learn programming in my 13.

I regret that didn’t pay attention enough to math and physics to have a more interesting background than just software development. And now I am learning, returning to the roots. 😄

I have 20 years of full-time job and looking for time for a hobby. Firstly it was a hobby also, but now I am bored with making the same project for 16 years, I want to try other fields, and learning new tech is my hobby.
