I'm going to start mentoring my friend's son who just completed a coding boot camp through a local community college. I'm starting with #foss projects in languages/frameworks he was taught.ij the boot camp) #java #ReactJS

I maintain a #csharp project, but if anyone else has something that could use a potentially long term contributor I'll start working with him on issues. He needs to build his resume and learn to work with a distributed team.

While it has its own issues, there are several good reasons why my favourite #ProgrammingLanguage in the real world is #C

Why not #Go?
Because it's from #Google.

Why not #Csharp or #Fsharp?
#Microsoft.

Why not #Rust or #Zig?
#LLVM (aka #Apple & friends).

Ultimately, most of languages I avoid like the plague are controlled by #BigTech one way or another.

C is simple enough to get several alternative compilers based on useful standards.² ³


¹ In theory I still prefer #Oberon07, but when I want to code something useful I still use C instead to lower the entry barrier for other devs, because there are too many incompatible implementations of the compiler and "standard" library.

² Ok, #Python, #Scheme and #Lua have similar qualities, but for the tools I write I usually prefer binary executables with no runtime.

³ No, #C++ is not an option. 😉
