    Maybe try convincing him in terms he would understand. If it was really that good, it wouldn’t be public. They’d just use it internally to replace every proprietary piece of software in existence. They’d be shitting out their own browser, office suite, CAD, OS, etc. Microsoft would be screwing themselves by making chatgpt public. Microsoft could replace all the Adobe products and drive them out of business tomorrow.

    Edit: that was fast

    I don’t think you would get much traction on C developers’ existing projects. C gives you the option to do everything your way. If the developer’s paradigm doesn’t agree with the borrow checker, it could become a rewrite anyway.

    Most projects don’t use the newer c standards. The language just doesn’t change much, and C devs like that. This might get a better response from the modern C++ crowd, but then you are missing a large chunk of the world.

    100%. In my opinion, the whole “build your program around your model of the world” mantra has caused more harm than good. Lots of “best practices” seem to be accepted without any quantitative measurement to prove it’s actually better. I want to think it’s just the growing pains of a young field.
