all the cool C kids are doing rust nowadays

lisp, lol

I actually have to do that in C/C++ (school project), but I figured I could get away with transpilation @martintrojer

Hmm, reminds me to maybe read up on Linj & Jnil one day. Linj translates Common Lisp-like language to readable Java; Jnil translates it back. https://github.com/xach/linj/blob/master/doc/java-for-lispers.pdf

The author hacked his Java job with it. His clients had no idea he used it. Though they did notice that he'd always "clean up the indentation" after others modified his code. They just thought he was a big stickler for formatting.
