@frank-dspeed
yes i agree
WASM will solve a lot of that stuff
as we can use C and Rust via LLVM to compile to WASM
Eben
@eben-roux
I don't quite buy into the WASM thing yet
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
its like C for the Web
you get C code wrapped with a javascript interface
Eben
@eben-roux
JS is too pervasive and really does get the job done... along with nodejs in the mix and... well... we'll see
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
so you can send data in and out of the C app
Eben
@eben-roux
when will C just die!
kidding
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
it will die
with rust
rust ist replacing C
thats why mozilla did it
Eben
@eben-roux
never really used C... fooled around with C++ in 92 --- wrote a b-tree database thingy
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
its a C like lang low level you can do mem manegment in rust
Eben
@eben-roux
I see they (MS) seem to want to re-introduce low-level memory management back into C#
apparently it is very fast
it goes from 0 to broken in 2ms flat!
anyway
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
ah i hate C#
i hate MS
Eben
@eben-roux
at least you'll be able to shoot yourself in both feet
hate is such a strong word
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
at present i am shooted from donejs
:D
Eben
@eben-roux
C# is vewy. vewy, vewy nice :)

@frank-dspeed
and big routing applications
with tons of undebug able stuff i will try to get hired by a normal F500 company as coder and stop working as freelancer
because my apps are now not deliver able any more and maintainable any more by single persons
as you sayed you putted 300 on that
Eben
@eben-roux
now you see... therein lies the rub
finding a company that is actually using you particular mix of tech is near impossible nowadays
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
yes thats why i want to simply do hourly work
Eben
@eben-roux
companies in south africa tend to follow the "larger" trends... like angular, and just about anything MS has on offer
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
not any success based work any more
:D
10 years befor you got payed for success
Eben
@eben-roux
I have contracted for more than half of my career... probably around 15 years of it has been contracting... if not more
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
nowdays its a good idea to accept any hourly rate
i lost i think last 2 month
round about 10 000 euro
only because of deadlines
  • monthes of work
and crashed one company with 1 mio totall invest successfull
as the bank cancled the credit line
:D
Eben
@eben-roux
well... I work on a time and material basis
if I work 1 hour I get paid 1 hour :)
Frank Lemanschik
@frank-dspeed
thats what i need
