Today I attempted to write and sort of succeeded* in making an extension for #php and let me tell you right now, my utmost respect goes out to @thephpf because I wouldn't wish C upon my worst enemies.

*by bugging @asgrim every ten mins

@SecondeJ, have you tried Rust? I thin i saw a guide a few months ago about someone doing a rust function and exposing it as a php extension

Rust mostly blows my head off, so not sure how much success I'd have here

@SecondeJ @dabiddo yeah, but then at least you get compiler assisted "you're wrong" rather than HAHA SIGSEGV
@ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo I'm tired, so I read this as "HAHA SIX SEVEN!" and now cannot unsee it

@stevegrunwell @ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo “Six seven” is basically what the system is saying to you when it segfaults.

Also, are you in elementary school? 🤪

@ramsey @ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo no, but I live with someone who is.

Parenting is weird.

@stevegrunwell @ocramius @SecondeJ @dabiddo My wife (my wife) is an elementary school art teacher, and since 6-7 has no real meaning, the kids are always trying to find creative ways to use it as a response or reaction to anything.

@ramsey @stevegrunwell @ocramius @dabiddo

WHY ARE THE KIDS GOING AROUND SAYING SIX SEVEN, even my own child is doing it, it's driving me bananas

@SecondeJ @stevegrunwell @ocramius @dabiddo James, that’s the point.
