“Modern” UI design be like: fat paddings everywhere

Wait till bro find out the program written in the “memory safe language” depends on many libraries written in C

All of the quirks you said are true, yet they still established the “okay” ecosystem of hobby-grade microcontrollers like Arduino, IoT devices, and other small scale robotics systems. None of them would have happened without the “okay” abstraction C/C++ provides as opposed to assembler

What’s wrong with embedded C? Would you rather write assembly?

From my understanding, one of the actual use case of assembly is for cyber security engineers to dump assembly instructions from a compiled program, so they can check for any potential vulnerability. I’ve also seen assembly included in an embedded codebase (the overall project is in C), which I assume is for more optimized performance and deterministic behavior

I agree. Competitive games just bring the toxicity out of me. Plus, all the skill gained will become nothing one day with a balance patch just because the devs and publishers want to “keep the game live for longer”
