If risc-v is successful, no need of those backdoor injectors which are compilers anymore (and absurd and grotesque bloats). Just write risc-v assembly without abusing the macro preprocessor.
ah, I see you too are a disciple of the kdb school

if you code in J for 6 months, you will no longer think in loops, and if you stay with it for 2 years, you will see that looping code was an artifact of early programming languages, ready to be displayed in museums along with vacuum tubes
Ah, after all these years, you've finally found it: a worthy opponent for kdb source code.

Breaking into q/kdb+
I am an experienced developer with 10+ years in various other languages (c++/python/ some scala). I am interested in getting into q/kdb+ after a recommendation from a friend in the industry. Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to break into the industry Ive done the courses on https://code.kx.com/ and read a few suggested books but cant find any officially recognised certs I could get, and practical experience is limited ! Im not sure even id hire myself into such a role

Are you interested in learning about low latency zero allocation programming?
For the curious, when I first ran into it it looked like this. That is not minified code, it's how people who write K write Java code. It was expected you would take that file and include it in your sources somewhere. The KDB protocol is actually very simple, basically writes out the types with a type tag, length and then the data in binary.

Any library you would like to recommend to others as it helps you a lot? For me, mapstruct is one of them. Hopefully I would hear some other nice libraries I never try.
Aeron for low latency apps and Agrona is you're using Aeron for data structures

Need help navigating the Java ecosystem (coming from C++)
Martin Thompson is one of the leaders in that space: his blog is a really great place to start. His Agrona library is a bunch of high-performance data structures, which you can use directly, but which can also serve as examples of writing such code.

WritableImage and real-time ray-tracing. I need help!
ByteBuffer methods have quite a bit of overhead. You could further try to (1) writing to a byte[] first and then using the put(byte[]) method, or (2) use sun.misc.Unsafe::putByte (maybe try with Agrona's DirectBuffer and copy the necessary lines if need be).
