@ziglang is an incredible C alternative, especially for embedded programming and osdev (easy to get a freestanding environment). I just cross-compiled to aarch64-linux without issues on first try 🤯
Visual Studio for medium-sized solutions and above:
1. Takes forever to launch
2. Some edits cause it to hang for a second or two
3. Most edits cause the red squiggle to stay for a second or two before VS is ok with the change
4. Occasionally corrupts your solution for no reason
Azure DevOps (aka good old VSTS):
1. Runs on half-empty tuna cans, causing basic operations to take forever
2. It's a 50-50 whether you will receive logs when checking logs from a running task (same happens with GitHub, thanks MS)
3. Task status often bugs out, can't count on it
And compilation times too were infuriating, and I've never even used ReSharper.
Most engineering managers and CTOs should feel ashamed while reading that article, but they won't.
Yet another reason why Go is the only sane language in that space.
