That'll save us. Anything in there about not assigning a public IP to your cofee maker?
I'm not gonna, Mr. Biden. Make me. Rust is for morons. C++ too. I only code in C.
Wow, Programming advice from non-programmers (And I would say this no matter which side of the aisle the President is from) and those with a vested interest. (google, Microsoft) The Linux kernel is written in C, will it be shut out of government contracts?
Non-programmers? You think Biden personally made this up without consulting a single computer scientist or programmer or something?
Well, after fighting an endless parade of memory corruption vulnerabilities for the last 35 years, maybe it is time for a change.
The advice may be coming from the white house but it seems like a better direction to go in than metaphorically continuing to point loaded guns at our feet.
Support for Rust in Linux is gaining a lot of traction. Memory safety without performance hits is massive for kernel development.
Google and Microsoft are massively invested in Linux and some of its biggest contributors due to the cloud.
Windows and android are also written in memory unsafe languages so I don't see how this would help them.
Speaking of programming languages, what happened to Google's Carbon?
That's still under active development, and due for a 2025 release.
The new 19-page report from ONCD gave C and C++ as two examples of programming languages...
I'm just astounded that, not only did the article avoid using the obnoxious term "C/C++", but it explicitly refers to them as two separate languages.
Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.
