In this sense, not even assembly is a low-level language because an instruction may hide what the microcode is actually doing.

IMHO, C is the lowest level a procedural programming language can get.

*just* a 486. :-(

There are billions of lines of garbage code out there written in C, C++, Java, you name it. So much garbage, it has driven people to create languages with tighter guardrails to help programmers.

Yet, I've never seen those language creators blame anyone else. I don't recall Bjarne Stroustrup lashing out at people migrating from C++ to Java, Rust, or anything else.

Maybe humility is just a generational thing.

> there's been a massive increase in people migrating from C to Rust due to LLMs.

Strange. I was expecting the opposite move as LLMs know the C pitfalls and traps well enough to write corrected code.

Rust’s relentless focus on local reasoning and good feedback (error messages) gives it a tremendous leg up when it comes to working with LLMs.

No idea whether the claim is right or wrong, but this processor package is beautiful.

Back in 2017, I had this theory that Google was run from the Vatican and the Pope himself was the CEO.

But... it's memory safe. Not that git has any important memory issue, but now people with skill issues in C can contribute to it without breaking stuff.

They can still break stuff memory safely.

The article says the cops used "AI" to find a suspect then the victim identified them in a photo lineup. That provided the probable cause to get a judge to sign a warrant.
