"Safer with Google: Advancing Memory Safety"
IMHO also Swift is also worth of a mention in this context given how it has been growing far beyond Apple's ecosystem. I've never even tried it but my friends who do games for consoles, mobile etc. seem to like it (and competition is great).

Is it true that Google Translate translates from A to B with two phases:
1. A to Eng
2. Eng to B
1. A to Eng
2. Eng to B

I like the AI intelligence test that Steve Wozniak proposed as an alternative to Turing test. It goes like this: AI has gained human intelligence if it can go to a house that is unknown for it previously, find coffee, filters, coffee boiler etc. and make some coffee.
I don't think we are there just yet...

I've said how great the Scanner app in #GNOME is when having to scan multi dozen contract papers for instance but also one nice I noticed in Evince: images can be exported by simply right-clicking the image. I've used weird command-line spells and never noticed this before.

@osandov Thanks this cleared the picture a lot! DWARF is pretty complex to find attachment points when you first start looking into it so this kind of information is gold ATM. Thank you.

@gimulnautti I saw while ago recent interview from John Carmack where he explained why he actually needs IDE and I fully grabbed that.

@vathpela Yeah, I found myself fixing DWARF post-processor bugs with zero previous experience and for rustc RISC-V target that exist only in the nightly, and finally with a custom target JSON file with modifications how relocations are handled etc.
At least it was a jump start to a new job :-)
Spent literally few nights with the spec, code and not understanding anything at all but now I got some grip how to analyze it :-)
Of tools my experience is this so far:
- drarfdump and llvm-dwarfdump work with somewhat variable success rate unless the arch is something established as x86.
- readelf --debug-dump=<sections> can be worth of trying because it can sometimes succeed where dwarfdump fails.
- Of all tools the only tool that has pretty much nailed any file I've thrown to it has been rz-bin: https://book.rizin.re/src/tools/rz-bin/intro.html.
It is actually topic still that I would want be knowledgeable of, so no complains. Kind of spot in binary I've been too scared to touch before :-)
