I was expecting that, in the AI era, even Google will start using Rust for everything. But they chose Go for the this project.

   /*
    * kernel/sched/loadavg.c
    *
    * This file contains the magic bits required to compute the global loadavg
    * figure. Its a silly number but people think its important. We go through
    * great pains to make it work on big machines and tickless kernels.
    */

so is it just silly numbers or important ?

I use bunch of PHP files for personal/work stuff. Because the setup is very easy: just install nginx and enable php+fastcgi extension. Then just edit the files, no restart is needed. Also I don't need frontend and backend. Just echo html in php file :)

Hey Thomas, thank you for detailed explanation! This sounds very interesting. I really wanted to learn something less complex than Rust/Haskell and fast enough for high performance computing and also reliable language. I should learn some OCaml :)

I'm not deeply familiar with reliability-focused languages, but as far as I know, Ada, Rust, and Haskell are the most prominent ones. What made OCaml a better choice here over those alternatives?

It always astonishes me how much useful information you can find on internet being publicly available. You just need a willing to learn.

The sad part is that no one forces you to work that hard. You're free to say NO! and work less, even this will results being laid off. Only during 1:1s your manager may highlight that deadline is soon and would be great if the project would be delivered on time, and little hint about a promo. But you set goals and force yourself to do more, single night this less sleep doesn't hurt anyone. Then there are more such nights of coding and you feel barely alive. 90% work is done, only very little left to finish. And then bam!

I didn’t mean that this is ok, I’m for workers rights.
