Its hard to write abstractions in C, because its so painfully clear what the cost of abstractions are. In other languages abstractions appear to be free, because there is already so much stuff going on behind you back you don't notice te difference.

Binary search trees are not ideal on modern hardware, because they create too many branches and cache misses. At minimum a branch structure should be the size of a cache line. A 32byte cache line fits 4 64bit pointers, thats 2 bits of branching.

Strings in C are not NULL terminated, they are Null character terminated. The Null character must have all bits set to 0, Null does not. void *a = NULL; char b[2] = {'A', (char)a}; b is not a terminated string.

@timClicks All these issues are trivial to find and fix if you just bother to run your code. Hard bugs are when your code, is entierly valid, looks like it works, just gives the wrong output in rare cases. A compiler can never solve that, only a debuger and tests.

Today I was in a store with my son on one arm, and a stroller in the other, and someone offered and then proceeded to tie my shoelaces that had come undone. People are awesome.

C++ is a Language that looks like it was designed by someone with a very superficial knowledge of C, and every time they came up against something they didn't know how to do, they added a language feature instead of learning how to use C. Like thinking C++ > C is true.

Thought experiment: Imagine we limit all development teams to one. A lot of software would not be possible. So then imagine what would we need to make it possible to develop the things we need by only one person. We would need better tools and lib's.

I am seriously considering rewriting EXOs engine. Its really not much of an engine, and it is severely hampered by being data driven. The rule usually is: Never change engine during development. But on the other hand another rule is: Rewrite once you know what you are making.

After announcing the funding for my mailbox if full of spam from companies offering office furniture, questionable loans, and promises to "optimize my funnel". What we really need is C programmers, who want to do low level coding, and save the planet.

Installing a development environment and connecting it to a device is a mess of broken links, poor integration and company turf wars. I managed to get a working environment on the third computer I did a clean install on.

Google designers: "By storing it in an APK file everything gets zipped and uses less storage!" Reality: You now need to storing your files twice, taking double the space. Bravo!

Safety and security critical software written in all languages were sent out in to battle. Only software written in C returned, but some had suffered buffer-over run bugs. Conclusion: buffer-over runs make C is unfit for safety and security oriented software. ;-)
