My wisest tip is to use the switch() statement. Many people think a switch() statement is identical to if-else-if-else…

My other wisest tip is that naming of functions and variable is one of the most important skills.

When it comes to naming things, at some point you will invent something brand-new. At that point, you should invent a brand new name because it no longer qualifies as the same sort of item that already exists.

I called my filesystem "Native" for a long time, then picked an off-the-wall name, "RedSea". Marketing is a fascinating field. Don't under-rate what marketeers do when they pick names that work in many countries. I named my C-language "C+" at first and finally came-up with "HolyC".

HolyC is not very modern. You will use one language at work that is nasty and modern; at play, you can use HolyC and dodge the nagging-preaching computer people.

By modern, I mean with lots of compile-time checking… rigid type checking with "const" and all that.

In theory, type checking prevents bugs early. I find it an annoying pain in the ass.

There is no cruft in HolyC.

Integers are U0,I0,I8,U8,I16,U16,I32,U32,I64,U64.

You don't need to do big constants with a "l".

PrintF() does not need the "%ld", just "%d".
