Programming languages

[Soveu]

Do we want to only include Rust (with some asm! snippets) or do we also want C/C++ or other languages?

[AbleTheAbove]

I think as most/all of us are from the rust discord it would be easier on us if we focused on rust and asm at the moment and if there is need to expand we can do so!

Yeah, we can prepare articles for tabs around code blocks, so new snippets in other proglangs can be added. But ideally we'd be just focussing on memory-mapped register addresses, hardware registers, offsets, all independent of actual code. Especially because many registers contain tightly packed bitfields, and most proglangs don't have these. (Arguably, Zig would be the better language for examples.)

[Stupremee]

I think it would be relatively easy and very helpful to provide examples in multiple languages. Zig, C, and Rust for example, and then have a small selector on every codeblock

Btw., there should also be a strategy to tell our readers how to report mistakes in articles or provide additional info. Possibly how PhilOpp does it with his blog: Have a readily available issue per article.
