Anyone using Rust on Linux workstation? I'm thinking about d/l the package and try it out. I Want to try manipulating CAT controls on radio transceivers.

Micro controllers like ESP32 and PI pico still use C++. So far, it holds it's own. Think of the legacy code base still using C++.

How about C? Visual Basic? Visual C? Pascal? Anyone still coding in these languages? I'd imagine the Visual versions are still active. They were great at automating excel applications.

I do plain C mostly for 8 bit embedded. Also used it for doing BLE on a RPi. In the end, probably won't do that again, but man that was fun. C++ on 32 bit embedded.

Tried my hand at mobile dev in C# inside the Xamarin framework. Fuck. That. Yeah, it got the job done... but at what cost...

Then there's the screwing around on my Tandy 1000 in 8086 assembly.

I'd guess I wrote 10x more in C than C++. I haven't written anything in almost 20 years. Quit my job and changed careers.
