Oh no, there are a few holes in Git:

(#6ao3moq) @lyse For that reason alone: > Still quite compliated for beginners I wouldn't consider it a good replacement/candidate for all things written in C I guess part of me thinks, do we really need a replacement for low-level languages like C in the first place? C is effectively really Assembly (just with a it of syntactic sugar), it surprises me a lot that large pieces of complex software are written in it, instead of say a higher level language 😅

(#6ao3moq) @nmke-de Yeah this is true. Runtime is a bit unfair though, C has no runtime really.

(#6ao3moq) (Yay, programming language discussion! 😅)

(#6ao3moq) @movq Agree 💯 Go _could_ be that language, but it carries with it a somewhat heavy runtime. Perhaps tinygo? 🤔

(#6ao3moq) @lyse Sigh. 🫤 As much as I love C for its (apparent) simplicity, we should really abandon it and these classes of bugs with it. (Rust or Go are not the answer, though, imho.)

(#6ao3moq) @movq @prologic It's been quite a while, but Ada could be a candidate in my opinion. Still quite compliated for beginners, though.

(#6ao3moq) @prologic I suppose, C benefits from being (still) widely spread and its runtime speed.
