    I’m talking mostly about corporate software development. You know, the kind of projects that run for 20 years with multiple teams and half a dozen cycles of “let’s outsource everything” - “oh, it sucks, let’s insource everything” - “oh, it’s expensive, let’s outsource everything again”. Doing that in C without major issues is rare.

    In that kind of context, safety is everything and performance doesn’t matter.

      This is why I don’t run corporate software if I can help it. Ain’t nobody got time nor the battery capacity for that.
