I don't think you will program such device in C, rather in assembly, right? When you have like memory for 500 commands, it is easier to go directly to assembler, anyway, with such hardware as a target you don't need portability, this code is 100% hardware-dependable, at it is perfectly Ok.

BTW, which uC your have in mind when you talk about single-digit nA draw (in running state? in deep sleep?), because old 8-bit architectures typically are designed for older node processes and not as energy effective as new one, and draw in sleep doesn't depend much on RAM or FLASH size or architecture, it is more design philosophy.

Anyway, PIC16LF (20nA in deep sleep) or 8051 clone (50nA in deep sleep) or STM8 (~0.30 uA in halt) or ATtinys (100nA in deep sleep), which are covered by "768 bytes of flash and 64 bytes of RAM" description are comparable with EFM32 ARM32-M0+ (20nA in deep sleep), same with uA/Mhz, but ARM32-M0+ will do much more work for each Mhz, so it will be more efficient in the end (faster does all work and go to sleep again).

Did you looked at java 1.2 at 1998 last time? Because after that there is compiler which produce some very efficient profile-guide-optimized code and do tricks like de-virtualization which is not possible with static compiler with support of multiple compilation units (like C++).

Really, there was time in history when HotSpot-compiled JVM bytecode was faster than everything that gcc could produce for comparable tasks. Yes, now this gap is reversed again, as both gcc and clang become much more clever, but still gap is not very wide now.

It is very dubious way to subvert GPL, even GPL2, not to mention [A]GPL3.

It was discussed many times that you cannot have close-sourced plugin for GPL host program, as loading plugin is linkage and it is covered by full GPL (only LGPL has linkage exclusion).

Is it is consistent for old posts too, I hope it is not LLM :)

It is possible to achieve with external IPC, but require a lot of very careful programming.

And, yes, proper support for Sieve, including per-folder Sieve. Sieve is a pain after they changed something and 3rd party Sieve plugin died (become Electorn Application).

Now Thunderbird has so many rough edges (I named only my top-3, but I'm sure anybody can add others!), but still one and only usable cross-platform e-mail client.

Oh, yes, development pace is unbearable slow: after killing "Manually sort folders" plugin it takes more than year (!) to add this as "core" feature with huge help from aforementioned plugun's author. Very slow process of review, integrating, releasing which takes MONTHS to integrate ready feature. It should be very discouraging for contributors.

Thunderbird now provide like 10% of features of old and almost forgotten (but still alive) windows-only client "The Bat!" from end of 1990s, beginning of 2000s and was written by team of like 5 people.

But still, I've donated!

Fusion360 at least works on Linux

Photoshop/Lightroom don't.

I stand corrected.

Relaxed atomic writes can be reordered in any way.

This support table is complete mess. And saying "most platforms are supported" is too optimistic or even cocky.

1) 1.8⁰C on body is very big difference, it is like difference between person who is slightly warm and one who barely can move because of cold. It is huge.

2) Tone like «we are victims of marketing, we can use simple equipment instead of high-tech one» is in same article as «Custom boots for Mallory were been developed for many month». Yep, very simple equipment, of course.

Edit: Personally I think betting on war is immoral and should be condemned by all sane people, but saying that everything needs 100% safety and 100% no harm is very naive.

It is very convenient sometimes to access your locked session on big desktop from small laptop, do something, and later go to big desktop physically and unlock "local" termianl and continue with all same programs and windows without starting new session. This scenario were not supported by X11 very well, unfortunately.

Itanium did this mistake. Sure, compilers are much better now, but still dynamic scheduling beats static one for real-world tasks. You can (almost perfectly) statically schedule matrix multiplication but not UI or 3D game.

Even GPUs have some amount of dynamic scheduling now.
