CapeStart helps companies modernize technology, reimagine processes and transform experiences so they stay ahead in a fast-changing world.
The breakdown of lambda, blocks, and nested functions demonstrates how important implementation and ABI details are in addition to syntax. I think the standard for C should include a straightforward, first class wide function pointer along with a closure story to stop people from adding these half portable, half spooky extensions.
AI isn’t inherently evil, it’s just a tool. the real problem is when companies use it to cheap out or replace people entirely. indie dev using AI to document a side project isn’t the villain, that’s just survival. the convo should be about power + intent, not blanket “AI bad” takes.
Always fascinating how Dijkstra’s writings feel just as relevant today. His clarity of thought on simplicity and structure in code still sets a standard we rarely reach.

It feels like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon without much substance behind it
The real issue is careers valuing where papers are published over what they contribute, and incentives won’t change until hiring and funding reward depth over volume.
Just checked it out looks super clean and intuitive, definitely something I’d use to stay organized.
Congrats on hitting 1.0. love the focus on simplicity and real world dev workflows
