    As a gay trans man, looking down on people who code in anything other than C is my toxic masculinity. Don’t let reactionaries take it away from me.

    You’re not a real man if you use an IDE. Vim and gcc were good enough for the founding fathers (D & R), they’re good enough for me.

      real men write their code one bit at a time with a laser pointer and a fiber optic network cable

      Or you could just use zig which is better at compiling C than C (the second it supports the espressif chips I’m never touching C again)

        Once you incorporate networking, you’ve lost me. I’d rather implement ed on a billion NAND chips. Soldering is enjoyable and physical; networking gives me aneurysms.
