I am looking for memory-safe languages that can be used for systems/graphics programming. I love Rust, but it often feels like too massive a language with too much stuff going on. Is there a language like C, which is simpler (obviously without all the UB and other problems)?

Repainting the iconic IKEA PS 2014 lamp into the Deathstar from Star Wars has been a popular IKEA hack for quite some time.

This variant additionally replaces the manual, rope-operated mechanism to open and close the lamp with a remote-controlled motor.

The firmware is based on ESPHome, and its excellent Home Assistant integration enables one to implement higher-level features, like a "sundial" where the aperture of the Deathstar follows the sun elevation throughout the day (see the tim

A recent post here got me thinking about my own personal gripes with OS path handling offerings. So I've basically spent the passed couple of days working on a little project in an attempt to rectify the situation somewhat (in the spirit of cross-platform development). It should also work pretty well with existing tools. Let me know what you think, and feel free to open an issue or a pull-request if you have any problems getting it running it on your system. Enjoy!
