Took 2 paragraphs for me to guess the author ;)

B->C->C++->D->Rust->Zig->ZZtop?

Seems like apple themselves had a good solution to this with one model of the iMac that supported use as an secondary monitor. Imagine if every laptop / iMac supported use as a secondary monitor.

Of course it would a big oops simile, but use after free isn't something that has happened to me in 40 years but I keep testing for it in other peoples code ;)

Macros, the ugly side of C, Rust. Shame Zig didn't come before rust, imagining kernel data structures written in Zig, brings a smile.

Right on point that kernel style C is its own unique world, with a steep learning curve, so lets add Rust with its own steep learning curve. Rust readability isn't any better than kernel C, guess I'm missing the 10,000 hours of reading Rust.

Three of the greatest programmers I've experienced worked there, Peter, Tor, Raph. Hats off.

Digital Halftoning by Robert Ulichney

Inconsolata ticks all the boxes for me

In rust this looks rather painful. Might I suggest trying this in Julia, might be a good comparison of performance, ease of use, and readability. Julia does a very nice job of compiling directly to SIMD instruction and lets you inspect the low level code generated.

inline function sin9_shaper(x) c0 = 6.28308759 c1 = -41.33318707 c2 = 81.39900205 c3 = -74.66884436 c4 = 33.15324345

    a = abs(x - round(x)) - 0.25
    a2 = a * a
    ((((a2 * c4 + c3) * a2 + c2) * a2 + c1) * a2 + c0) * a

function gen_sinwave(freq, init=0.0, step=0.1) wave = [sin9_shaper(x) for x = init:step:freq] end
