I'm somewhat of an old school guy. My first programming languages were BASIC and C, if they counts. While I'm not personally particularly fond of Rust, I do respect it and think it should live in the #Linux kernel where it's the right tool for the job. While it is relatively new compared to C, it isn't actually new at all by #programming standards. I remember going through a #Rust tutorial with a Mozilla dev at OSCON a little shy of a decade ago.

@SpaceLifeForm I still have the original working floppies and manuals for Personal Pearl* for the Osborne One that my grandfather bought in the early 1980s to manage his machine shop and fabrication business.

*This is not a typo. I'm not talking about Perl.

If WiFi and Cell radio existed back then, then almost like a modern cell phone.

Screen size would be comparable.
