I dunno about NostraDavid, but I don't object to main as a name. It's an obviously better name (let's be honest Git is terrible at naming). If it had been the name from the start it would have been fine.

The problems are a) changing the name was - and continues to be - a persistent minor pain, and b) it was changed for really really stupid reasons! Mainly the latter. It's painful when people are being idiots even if it doesn't directly affect you.

It's kind of like my objection to religion (at least Christianity in the UK). It's not really doing any harm, but it's just so stupid. (I don't blame Christians; I was raised one so I know first hand how it tricks you into belief.)

Comedy gold.

So glad they made the sane move and fixed std::env::home_dir(). The previous situation of having it deprecated due to fairly insignificant reasons, while recommending an abandoned crate instead was just silly.

I would consider it still horribly broken if you have to use a special hotkey to get sane behaviour.

A joke presumably? Kind of hard to tell!

What is even the motivation for this? How do you make PRs?

I agree, I tried FreeCAD a couple of years ago and it was unusable. I tried 1.0 and it was actually decent. Not amazing but definitely usable.

Well COBOL hasn't completely gone away... I don't think anyone expects C to become completely extinct; just very legacy.

D missed its chance. Zig is clearly going to be the successor to C, for people who don't want to use Rust.

Well let's hope they don't all choose different options...

IIRC when you dragged a component in the schematic view all of the wires would get left behind. Have they fixed face-palms like that?

Ah yeah LibrePCB is the only one I haven't tried actually. I guess I was put off by the name - I've found that projects that focus on geeky freedom tend to not care at all about UX, but it sounds like that isn't the case here so I'll definitely give it a shot, thanks!

Hardened standard library is going to make the times when I am forced to use C++ a lot more pleasant. Does anyone know how you will enable it? I think it's pretty much guaranteed that they're not going to take the sensible route of making it opt-out, and if it's too difficult to enable nobody is going to bother.
