Reception

Sherry Woods of The Miami Herald called it "a light-hearted piece of fluff".[3] The Los Angeles Times praised the "bright dialogue and winning characterisations" but said "there's an underlying queasiness to the premise".[4]

gollark: Anyway, yes, stuff in C tends to be unsafe. You can run valgrind and -fsanitize and whatever over it, but it still seems like *tons* of C projects have memory-related bugs.

gollark: I've written C before, and it was very safe and excellent and exhibited no undefined behaviour or warnings.

gollark: Why do you want it?

gollark: Okay, pushed.

gollark: Working on it.
