Apparently it's not even really all that stable, so that whole container would rapidly decompose into probably carbon dioxide (CO2) and a bunch of pure carbon (think charcoal). At least that's my hunch. There is a Wikipedia article on the stuff, but it's pretty short, since it's a pretty unusual chemical (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide ).

CO2 is of course extremely common. I'd love to see what a chemist can describe about a bottle of C2O though!

Ada, hands down. Every time I go to learn Rust I'm disappointed by the lack of safety. I get that it's miles ahead of C++, but that's not much. I get that it strikes a much better balance than Ada (it's not too hard to get it to compile) but it still leaves a lot to be desired in terms of safe interfacing. Plus it's memory model is more complicated than it needs to be (though Ada's secondary stack takes some getting used to).

I wonder if any other Ada devs have experience with rust and can make a better comparison?

First time trying it out. Got a bit lucky.

I think a few months was the time until he signed I love you, we don't know how much longer it took before she get the implant.

I use fslint myself. Basically a linter for files :)

Sadly front end, like "High Level" is a very relative term. For example, in compiler design, the bit that parses code is called the "front end" since the "back end" is what emits machine code. I think that's what they mean here, the "front end" that understands D3D8 code has been added, presumably there is also a "back end" that converts the parsed/analyzed D3D8 code into valid opcodes for consumption by GPU/CPUs.

In the other direction, a UI/UX is sometimes called a "back end" when it is part of a more complex embedded project where physical controls are the "front end".
