Mostly agree with the premise of this post, but you don’t necessarily need to use a language that causes segfaults if you look at it wrong (It Is Undefined Behavior™) to “go back to your roots” (though from what I’ve seen you’ve been enjoying C a lot OP, so that’s good too), any language works when you don’t have The Business breathing down your neck.

Write a little VM in Rust, or C#. Hell, try doing a SPA in pure JS without npm (or any other package manager) or any frameworks or even libraries, only native custom components, it’s surprisingly fun.

there was a fedi shitstorm recently RE: centralized blocklists so I tried my hand at a web service that would facilitate aggregating and sharing these lists in a decentralized and dynamic fashion and so far I like how it’s coming along

I’m hoping to build a frontend for it soon-ish
