DeVault: Announcing the Hare programming language

> As was noted in the blog post: there are many programs typically compiled for ARM that would fail if this produced something besides 0, and there are also many programs typically compiled for x86 that would fail when this evaluates to something other than the original value… and both types can be rewritten to work within limitations of standard C… so why should the compiler developers care?

I do have a response to this: just look at the code for each of them to adapt to the other one's behavior to figure which choice has the least impact, and purposely break the other one, given that it currently is broken or about to break anyway during a future compiler upgrade. But at least this will be clearly documented. And when the cost is the same I'd choose x86 by default since 1) it's accumulated way more older code (arm code tends to be more modern and less arch-specific), and 2) it's where users go when they want the highest performance level nowadays.

> More-or-less the only guy who they give special treatment is Linus: not only he leads a huge and important project, but, more importantly, it's obvious that said project need to go beyond boundaries of Standard C, sometimes. Even then leeway is extremely limited, Linus have to argue about things a lot for these to be accepted as GCC C extension.

Yes, I know, and that's sad.
