#chibcc is a really cool small little C #compiler https://github.com/rui314/chibicc It's great to have some #alternative #compilers in this #cfamily space!
Very cool to see such a #simple but #effective #compiler #optimisation https://briancallahan.net/blog/20220406... Still need to check out #tcc at some point!
Hmm, #intel #purposefully acting very #shady by #crippling the #performance of #amd #cpu when using the #intel #compiler https://www.agner.org/forum/viewtopic.ph..

Would be a highly interesting #project ! Could even have a small #editor with #syntax #highlighting ...An awesome #project called #mikeos I have followed for *years* now: http://mikeos.sourceforge.net/ Well worth checking out. One of the most #hardcore #os #communities going I think.

Good luck with that... The Rust #compiler is not even consistent or #stable ...Interesting, #popos may soon switch to using #kde instead of #gnome - perhaps a general switch away from #ubuntu in general: https://old.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments.. The #reddit #comments are pretty funny, claiming it might be called " #kpopos " and instead of getting an #lts #release - it might be a #bts release!
Speak about some #quick #gains - this #compiler switch for some #pinephone #library sees 5 times #speedup ! https://pineguild.com/maui-applications-.. Got to love them quick wins!
I'm still not #convinced to give up on #cpp in favour of #rust https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/posts/073.. The first thing #rust needs to do is show some #compiler and #language #stability . Secondly, it needs to actually prove its claims! #abstraction does not mean #speed , #safety or #memory #efficiency !
Hehe, looks like the #llvm #gcc #compiler gets a little carried away in the #optimization process: https://twitter.com/jckarter/status/1428.. The #collatz #conjecture is an interesting problem for sure! I wrote a "better" #implementation quite some years ago: https://github.com/danielbarry/callatz-c..
