When not tired and/or lazy, I write software that's used by at most 2 people. Mainly interested in programming language design, compilers and operating systems.

@nprofile…m3qg From my understanding, most RISC-V specifications (including SBI) don't expect any kind of input devices or special shortcuts.
So any kind of SysRQ-magic is just using the default input driver from the kernel. This is what Linux does at least.
It's possible that a device has an interrupt source for this use-case - check the device tree. Though I'm not very familiar with RV hardware, no idea if there exists a board with such a feature.

@npub1sg4…xslc Best thing I could figure out:
Grep for `enable_[_a-zA-Z]+` in *.m4, configure, and Makefile.in files

@npub1ysu…2jyl I think Rust's stdlib only uses POSIX APIs and not general C things like stdio.h, so this doesn't really apply here. Hare also does the same thing on OpenBSD

@npub1ysu…2jyl Even without libc, the language itself has a lot of really nasty footguns especially relating to integer promotion and the infamous signed overflow

"C is safe if you just program well" and other fairy tales

For quite some time I've been thinking about making a "better Java" so a language that would target JVM and be fully compatible with existing Java code but "better". I envisioned null safety, more consistent pattern matching, maybe more expression-oriented syntax, inverted access flags (everything is private final by default) but now that I think about it, is it even useful? Everything other than null safety is just pointless fluff that's "good to have" but that doesn't warrant a new language

After looking a bit more into Android development, I think I should never touch it again for a few more years
