I think it was pre-COVID but I had a gathering of systems people at my
place in the Santa Cruz mountains and Kirk and Eric were there. I ended
up talking to Eric for quite a while and what went through my mind was
"This is so pleasant, I'd hire this guy or happily work for this guy.
He gets C like I do and likes it like I do". It really was super
pleasant to realize I'm not the last guy who wants to use C for
serious work.
I suspect we're dinosaurs but we're cut from the same clothe dinosaurs.
A few pics here, not up to my usual level but whatever:
