Except for C. To every use-case which C is suitable, it has never been a disappointment to me.

@sir I wonder why that is. Maybe because C gives us so little (as in "is so minimal") that it empowers us much more than other languages that are not as minimal.

@sir this, and then ten times this. Then add the decisions on whether and which frameworks to use if you want to do anything visual with a hint of convenience and call it quits right there.

@sir I ended up with a combination of Haskell and bash, and it's better than it sounds. Haskell urges you to elegant and clean solutions, and bash is simple and straightforward.

@woffs @sir Shell scripts are pretty adequate!Example: #!/bin/sh echo "{YOUR CODE HERE}" > FILENAME.c cc FILENAME.c ./FILENAME.cI disagree on Haskell though.

@sir @OpenComputeDesign The schematics for the MNT Reform are open, so if you don't mind ARM, it's slightly more modern than the X200 (and I think roughly on-par performance-wise), you can assemble it yourself in a few hours, has exclusively free firmware (the first model, at least, I think they went off the rails with the second), and looks pretty cool for around the same price if not a bit less than the X200 usually goes for. Plus it has a mechanical keyboard, so you aren't missing the fantastic ThinkPad keyboards.

@sir then make one, instead of whining endlessly... or could it be that you can't find it because you don't know what you're looking for?
