I tremendously enjoyed listening to @JensGustedt and Gavin Henry of Software Engineering Radio discuss C23 and Gustedt's related book. Gustedt proposed lambdas, which were not adopted, and is now working on contracts. I was most surprised that his list of 4 most-common program failures did not include hardware ones. He must not work in #embedded. @embedded

@alison @embedded Indeed, that's my particular point of view I acquired in the context I am working in. So there are probably a lot that I missed, sorry for that.

@JensGustedt @embedded I found the interview valuable, and am considering buying your book, although it is easy to buy books and harder to read them! My comment about causes of failure was not a criticism, but rather a reflection of the differences in software worlds. Most discussion about modern software is about containers, cloud and kubernetes. I know almost nothing about those. Ironically, C is much more prevalent in #embedded than on servers, and hardware problems are front of mind!
