Write in C – Let it Be

No pip freeze to lock the doom, No tangled trees in darkened bloom, No maintainers tricked by phishing spree — In C I hold the memory key.

Through buffer, pointer, syscall roar, I own the land, I own the shore; Let Python’s spiders weave their scheme, I’ll keep my ship rock-steady in C-stream.

When Rust was receiving a lot of press I did the same with the Spam song but changed Spam to Rust. Lovely Rust! Wonderful Rust!

Another one bites the Rust

Another one writes in Rust.

Another one writes in Rust

And another one Go, and another one Go

Another one writes in Rust (yeah)

It is appropriate I leave this song here : https://youtu.be/tas0O586t80?feature=shared

I love this song, but it wouldn't be nearly as perfect without the slight hint of irony ("efficiently dangerous") and the SEGFAULT at the end. Things I feel "Write in C" is dearly missing.

I remember a youtube video around the time dennis richie passed away. This must have been around 2011!

likely still exists... it does... lol... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4YRPdRXKFs

catchy song!

> If you've just spent nearly 30 hours

I was singing along and this was too many syllables. I guess "Spent nearly 30 hours" is all that fits.

I don't get it. This guy had bugs in his Pascal code, and he thinks moving to C is going to make his life easier?

I mean, that's one way to see fewer errors: If a tree writes off the end of an array in the forest, is there actually a bug?

(Yes. Yes there's still a bug.)

Nah dawg dat ain't me. I ain't gonna write more C.

Amen

Oh, another C shanty!
