DeveloperExtrason The AWS SDK for Go is now 1.0

DeveloperExtrason Don't copy paste from a website to a terminal

First he says copy and paste to save for later.... Like in Notepad?

Then switches to running things in the terminal. We already saw your 'trick' in step 1 when viwed in our Snippets Notepad file...

DeveloperExtrason Windows game developer about porting to and using OS X

I do it this way, but it's based on my particular skill set:

First make the iOS version. Then, port it over to Java. Then, port it over to C# or maybe ActionScript3/Flash.

This way, I can recursively update previous versions as the 'best solution' to interesting problems become most clear by the end of the 2nd or 3rd port. This gives the Objective-C/iOS version the attention it needs, and I can use the rapid application development features for each new port.

DeveloperExtrason Which language has the brightest future for replacing C: D, Go, Rust?

I love to do C programming. C++ in comparison, I don't enjoy at all. I think it's the syntax. C# and VB.net are fun, and fast to work in. Obviously just my opinions of course. Java is fun and fast.

With C and even Objective-C, I have to plan everything out, and finely craft the code. It's meant to be closely examined and optimized and perfected. That's what makes it rock-solid in my experience.

I don't have type-related or buffer or memory related issues since its part of developing in the language. Things like Heartbleed are interesting, because obviously the guy was overworked and didn't spend enough time with the code before checking it in.

I view those types of issues as 'check-in irresponsibility' and it can occur with any language, not just C. My answer would be 'None of the above'.
