 @saddestrobots tired: they called it creat because of a linker limitation wired: they called it creat so the syscall definitions would line up in a source listing and instantly regretted it when the Berkeley kids started mocking them inspired: they called it creat because it creats files 9 comments
@stiiin @aburka @zzt @saddestrobots Oh my God, that's it. If anyone ever invents The Great New Quantum Computing Language and asks me what they ought to call it, I'm going to tell them to call it "D". @doboprobodyne I have some mildly bad news for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language) Argh! And if we ignore G because of G-code, the next available letter is I (which looks the same as a lower case L), and then everything's taken up to N. Holy smoke. Thank you for warning me before I gave terrible advice!    @Andres4NY @zzt @saddestrobots linker error: duplicated tokens in definition: If only markdown worked so I could point to both Es :neofox_sad: |
