Perhaps one of the worst misfeatures of C is the ease with which responsibility for problems can be shifted to the person who wrote the code. “Oh, you segfaulted? I guess you forgot to check for NULL.” If only I had a computer to take care of such tedium for me!

Clearly, computers can’t be expected to do everything for us. But they can be expected to do quite a bit. Programming languages are built for humans, and they ought to eliminate the sorts of rote work humans are bad at whenever possible. A programmer is already busy thinking about the actual problem they want to solve; it’s no surprise that they’ll sometimes forget some tedious detail the language forces them to worry about.

Let’s stop copying C

Ah, C. The best lingua franca we have… because we have no other lingua francas. Linguae franca. Surgeons general? C is fairly old — 44 years, now! — and comes from a time when there were possibly more architectures than programming languages. It works well…

Я не эволюционный биолог, НО тут есть статья про СДВГ (синдром деффицита внимания и гиперактивности) и его эволюцию с палеолита. И в общем оказалось, что в палеолите СДВГ (или его предшественник?) было положительным критерием отбора. Более безумный - лучше выживал (реагировал на угрозы вероятно). Наука збс.

Цитата друга: если ебанутый, то можно просто говорить, что адаптировался к этому миру.

Я адаптировался, а вы?
