> C is an abstraction of the machine, so thin it's nearly transparent.

Looks like someone fell for the C abstract machine trap yet again. No, C is isn’t an abstraction of the machine.

For every complex problem there is a solution that is clear, simple, and wrong.

This is not the gotcha you think it is. Nobody that has used C++ in a non-trivial setting would regurgitate that Stroustrup quote unironically. C++, much like Powershell, is a warcrime of a language.

I'll give it up to Powershell though, it actually had some good ideas... albeit with awful execution. Can't say the same about C++.

By all means, write some Go instead—you might want to order a new `if err != nil` button to stave off the RSI. The rest of us are trying to make things better.

Handy! I feel like this should be built into the terminal emulator though?

You cannot pay me to use a Samsung product. They’ve irreparably damaged my perception of South Korean technology. I implore anyone here to stay clear.

None of this is surprising, YC is as incestuous as the rest of the industry. Still, it’s worth calling out. This submission will likely be nuked, too.

If you do something stupid in a block marked "unsafe", it's probably on you, my guy.

oh look, the average golang fan. here’s a challenge for you: explain _why_ the complexity is bad without:

- resorting to logical fallacies, or

- relying on your unstated assumption that all complexity is bad
