I'm not really cashing in on it. It has become my sidearm. I think that's the best way to describe it. When I want to solve a problem it's just there, trustworthy, reliable and efficient.

What it does is allow me to circumvent demotivating and productivity draining pain which is seen elsewhere which is pretty much summed up as: shitty build tools, runtime environments, libraries, containerisation, IDEs, concurrency approaches, test frameworks.

Really it's a tool that allows me to actually get stuff done.

It's pretty much what I've wanted for years: a memory safe, GC'ed C with a stdlib that wasn't conceived in the 70s.

The stdlib is really great. The things you can cross compile not worrying about glibc all day long is amazing.
