i mean, yeah? but also the language doesn’t become more complicated with larger programs and you typically don’t spit out thousands of lines of code without compiling at least some of it at least once

easy, just replace system32 with /usr/bin

Correct, we should move slowly and break things

Oh THAT’s what the random freezes were. Got them sporadically on my Arch machine for a couple of years, and never figured out exactly why. (Now I’m using a different laptop that still has AMD graphics, but I haven’t got a freeze yet.)

Because I like compiling everything from source for a 0.2% speed improvement
