"Over the past year or so, I've been trying to avoid programming in any compiled languages." I am going a bit off-topic here but I could not resist to add one comment to this. I try this even more generally - avoid any other language than Ruby itself at all costs. ;-) ---------------------------------------- Feature #13095: [PATCH] io.c (rb_f_syscall): remove deprecation notice https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13095#change-62377 * Author: Eric Wong * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- io.c (rb_f_syscall): remove deprecation notice New, perhaps experimental syscalls appear all the time which may not and never be be supported by the system C library. Furthermore, on common GNU/Linux platforms, kernel development and releases happens at a much faster pace than GNU C library (glibc) development. In my experience, is more common for users to run recent, custom-built Linux kernels than a recent, custom-built glibc. (This is likely because Linux upstream has better built-in tooling for distro package management integration than glibc upstream). So, ruby should support users who want to deal with the latest and greatest syscalls in the kernel without having them wait for C library support. ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-io.c-rb_f_syscall-remove-deprecation-notice.patch (1.33 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
