manually pulling out bytes (with helpers) seems nicer than casting memory and then swapping endianness in place even in C imho

Example where two distinct keywords probably wouldn't have hurt: static and static

i'm curious how much c++ modules would help with this

Now that you talked about forward headers, I‘d be interested in if Sererenity uses precompiled headers and if you think they‘d be useful.

why all big tech companies started pushing rust recently? And do you think c++ is a bad choice to start a new project?

Hey Andreas. Can you elaborate on the forward headers you include. I am guessing is to speedup compile times, but how does that exactly work, and how can I profit from that on my own projects?
