c users always say "cargo sucks, actually having many programs to compile our program is better" but i have yet to see a c program that successfully compiles

@tauon Use whatever tool get the job done. I personally like C because I first learned programming in machine code and assembly, understand how the hardware works and appreciate a language that gets me as close to it as possible.

@nanook@friendica.eskimo.com yeah, c as a portable assembly language is good, but i like rust for its algebraic types and standard library

@tauon I am learning rust, not so much because my own discipline with memory is poor but because rust forces it on everyone so I feel it is solution that allows efficiency while enforcing discipline.
