  • No glue or screws, I just made cuts about halfway down on each piece where they intersect so that they slot into each other. Since the cuts were imprecise, I used a chisel to take off material until it fit nicely.

    There are the 5 pieces going vertically, slotting into the one horizontal one each at the top and bottom. It’s easiest if you clamp all the identical pieces together when you make the cuts and fine adjustments, that way you don’t have to cut every piece individually. :)















  • Its cross-platform support (not just for using but also for building it) is not there yet, and it is quite huge and unstandardized with only one full implementation. I’d agree the last part will change with age, but given the frequent large changes and feature additions I am afraid it will be harder and harder and it is simply too complex and fast-moving for many low-level applications. It is closer to C++ than C in my eyes. I’d be happy seeing it replace C++ though for its memory safety benefits!
