Ah, you're right, sorry. Corrected.

I have had great luck with Brother drivers on all the linux machines I've ever tried to use them with, so I would consider that a good option as well.

mainly just, "how to deference the address you just got to get the value you want." Might be covered under the "syntax" heading as well, but the concept was still gone over for those that hadn't quite grokked it yet.

Well half the devs call it "little-c" but the other half call it "clang," and what do you mean there is already something called clang?

I can't speak for jvns, but for my degree, "UNIX BASICS" was essentially "Command-line basics" (an intro class), and Assembly was pretty much just the actual language syntax, registers, pointers, and interrupts. The word "syscall" might have been mentioned once or twice, but only in a hand-wavy, "don't worry about this right now" kind of way.

It depends on the state, though most are "at will." Some companies will do a "trial period" in which some of your benefits are held back for anywhere from 60-90 days, so that may be what the parent is referring to.

off the top of my head, I would say it's similarity to Ruby means that Ruby devs would have an easier time learning the language than learning an entirely new one. Crystal also seems to have an extensive standard lib, which lua does not. (that's not a criticism of lua, just an observation. I know luarocks has made the lack of a large stdlib much less of a pain point for lua)

I used both nim (back when it was still nimrod) and rust for a while, before eventually settling on rust. I tried to give nim a chance, and was told that "they will grow on you" ("they" being the things you mentioned that were "unique decisions instead of what you're used to from other languages"). They never did, and though I got used to avoiding the problems I initially had with them, the language just never "felt good" to me.
