I love how you specifically say "gaming PC" because I know you and every so-called "gamer" these days have to have some over the top, expensive, overheating, power-sucking pile of trash to run games at ridiculous resolutions/refresh rates with blinding, ugly graphics full of so many garbage lighting effects and muddy megatextures that the game is nearly unplayable.

If you can't run a game on a ~400 UKBucks machine, the game isn't worth playing.

What's the point of consoles when PCs exist? I don't understand how we have spent the entire modern PC era still clinging to locked down, limited consoles. And PCs aren't expensive if you're not buying some laughable top of the line garbage that runs games at super-ultra-mega-hyper high settings at 50billion pixels @ 4,096Hz.

Sick of debating you people on this. You can't understand basic logic which tells me right away that you're either not a programmer or a really bad one, or, more likely, you have some sort of investment in the language's success.

There's no conflict in the statements that you need to be a good C programmer and that it's impossible to be a perfect programmer. This non-argument is you either not understanding common sense and logic, or you grasping at straws in the vain hope that people will think you're right because you're so obsessed with your language of the year that will be forgotten soon enough and replaced with, again, C and other traditional, good, useful languages.

I don't know which is the case, but the frenzied, unhinged way you're trying to defend rust makes me think you have an investment in the language in some way, which makes your argument invalid. I have no such attachments.

If you can't understand such common sense arguments, I can't believe that you even know how to write "Hello World" in any language.

No one who knows anything about C uses insecure functions without having a good reason and a good foundation around them to keep them secure. The functions are there to allow C to have maximum flexibility and low-level access to a system. For the most part, these shouldn't be used, and any decent C programmer knows that. Comparing that with Rust where people think the entire language is inherently safe and has zero awareness of what they might be doing is laughably insecure is the heart of the problem.

Been programming longer than most of you have been alive, kids. Keep on defending your hacked together tricycle language and then crying when you manage to tip it over because of your overconfidence.

Well, guess who shouldn't be programming then?

Gnome is super stable in which alternative universe? I swear, I'm sitting here conversing with the internet from a universe where everything is completely the opposite from how things are here.
