but is it written in 6510 assembly, with cool graphics and catchy music with fast arpeggios?
I mean surely it could at least be optimized somewhat…
It probably could, and don’t call me Shirley.

But my wheel will be much better. I will start from the center with a very simple skeleton and build on top of it as needed. It will be very modular, elegant and easy to understand. It will be my masterpiece.
I bet the wheel would be better if it was written in Rust.
(Disclaimer: I have never actually written Rust.)

neither have most of the people advocating for (or against) rewriting stuff in Rust lol
I’ll have you know, I’ve started several projects in Rust!
Only to realize I don’t have time to do unpaid work even if it IS fun.
rust is a terrible material for wheels. Corrosion is not usually a good thing.
I think they mean to write the word “wheel” into surface rust.
You just have to rebrand it as “iron-based ceramic”.
I shudder at the thought of potholes.
I guess we’ll have to reinvent a pneumatic tire as well to protect it.
Hello, Rust developer. [My name, etc.] It works fine, and is written in C++. [Rest of challenge is the same.]
Truly diabolical
But it’s not memory safe!!
*passes Valgrind*
I know!! How can Jigsaw claim it “works fine”? He’d probably say something like “it’s battle-tested and state of the art.” What does that even mean??
Military-grade.
Look, I’m not saying the wheel is wrong. It rotates, but what if two people try to turn the wheel at the same time, in opposite directions?
What if—instead of risking misuse of the wheel—we have a
my_wheel::Wheel, which only one person can rotate at any given time? The multiverse could enforce this safety at compile time by making it impossible for there to exist a universe where two people both think they own the right to rotate the wheel. In fact, it could even make it impossible for me to lend out the wheel to more than one person at a time.And, maybe… we could make the wheel even better. Cars rest on top of wheels, sure. But what if I wanted to make a car that rests on top of other cars? If we rotate the super-car’s wheels, we don’t want to make the sub-cars flap around—we want the sub-car wheels to rotate. It would be more future-proof to make a
Wheeltrait, then to makeRubberTyreimplementWheel. Then, if we ever needed to make cars into wheels, we could have them also implementWheel—but delegate the responsibility of rotating to their own wheels.In fact, we should make it into a whole library. Our other projects could need wheels. Mr. Mittens might need them eventually!
If the goal is speed then just use a few turbofish.
There is a whole extra spoke in the wheel. Look, I’m not gonna reinvent it… I just… need to… adjust some values… and there! Look, its fine.
Wait.
Why is it wobbling like that?
Hold on, I just need to get rid of this other spoke…
I’ll just steal the wheel and reinvent it later
gasp! You wouldn’t download a wheel!
Tech bro strat.
Do you work for Apple?
Better make sure the wheel isn’t under copyright tho!
What do you mean developer? As soon as I got a dock so I could actually use my steam deck like a desktop, I started experimenting with everything!
Obviously, I would never escape that trap…
2025 is the Year of the Desktop Reinvented Wheel.
“Or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, saw plus trap”
Sure wheel 7 and wheel 10 were Ok, but wheel 11 is crap.
All those wheels made without any unit tests. What was humanity thinking?

I have had plenty of suggestions to do very simple things in the games I mod to blow up the lines of code and do the exact same thing I already am doing, but in a more complicated, roundabout way that ends up working slower.
“Why are you spawning blank soldiers and then equipping them, instead of spawning already equipped soldiers?”
“Because I can only spawn soldiers already equipped with stuff from a pool of premade classes, and I want to customize their loadout. It also takes 5 minutes longer to load them in already equipped for some damn reason, whereas when I do it this way it only pauses the game for 10 seconds before it’s good to go.”
“… ARMA’s engine sucks.”
“Agreed.”
You just gave me flashbacks to that abomination of a programming language they call sqf.
Does that stand for SQL WTF?
I hate for asking, but can you grace us with a hello world in squeef?
“I WOULDN’T BE REINVENTING IT IF THEY DIDN’T FORCE
systemdAXLES ON EVERY WHEEL!!!”How is it licensed, Jigsaw? Eh? What distro is it from? Is that a fucking Snap wheel?
Snap
Ok, this set me off.
What I hadn’t anticipated in my 20 years away from Linux was not only had teams of unpaid volunteers been beavering away behind the scenes to make everything work better, other much more enthusiastic teams have been thinking up new and exciting ways to break it again.
