@Cara oddio io quel libro lo tengo ancora in libreria!
@uint8_t @Cara for the record when ever someone says "segfault" in any of the programming chat rooms I am in my phone buzzes. Cos Element is dumb.
@Cara Kinda hope core dumps are disabled lol

@Cara That's cute and correct. ๐Ÿ™‚

Image description: Anime style, a woman reading to a child: "And then they forgot to allocate memory for the null terminator"
And the child happily throws the arms up and cries "Seeegfault"

The book is "The C programming language".

@Cara segfault on a good day. on any other day the program merily chugs along and unsettling garbage appears here and there in the output.
@Cara
I'm imagining a tech spoof of "baby shark" with "seg fault"
@Cara C causes brain damage and teaching it to children is child abuse

Do you want them to grow up building leaky abstractions laden with undefined behavior? Children should learn healthy, wholesome languages like Common Lisp instead
@Cara I thought German fairytales were gory, but this is true horror :p
@Cara SEGFAULT if you're lucky. Silent memory corruption if you're not.

@Cara What a blessing that there are still brave mothers who prepare their kids for the real world!

The Rust Edition:
โ€žAnd then they called .unwrap()โ€ฆโ€œ
โ€žPAAAAANIC!โ€œ

@Cara OMG! I used to read my Assembly Language course work to my baby! As if it was a children's book. So I could study and be a mom.
@Cara this was my first programming book! Brings back memories! I always read my school books to my kids, price of getting a doctorate while being a mom.
@Cara This really is the best ๐Ÿ’ฏ ๐Ÿ’•
@Cara this week we had an actual stack overflow at one of our servers :)
@Cara Glad to hear this story has a happy ending
