The Only Systems Programaming Language That Matters
C!
specifically and ideally C89 and C99
why ? there is no other language that will work anywhere, everywhere.
and you can write your own compiler.
most importantly,
- it compiles fast!
it is simple, gets out of your way, mistakes made in it are completely your fault.
i tried rust, way too complicated like c++, way too slow to compile. way too much disk usage.
i tried odin, great language btw. okayish compile times, but the community is small, and i dont know if i should bet on odin or the similar jai.
i like c++, but i hate the std library and the code eventually turns into an unreadable mess. i shouldn't have to discipline myself to not use some feature of the language.
i looked into zig, i want zig to get to v1. which is probably never. and I cant bet on it now, since every release will break my code. but i'm optimistic about zig.
And thats it.
The best one is C.
