Absolute legendary songwriter and musician, probably my favorite songwriter. This one stings.

A favorite of mine too, have some of his albums. Guess this feels a bit cold on the shoulder ...

That's cold, like ten degrees and getting colder.

Always loved his music. I went by myself to see him in concert about 30 years ago because I didn't know anyone else into him at the time.

I had one friend that also listened to him, we went to see him several times. It was always a good show.

Nice clue. I came up with gravesite but didn't like the fit to the clue. For some reason I never thought of yard.
|
|
|
|
|
Do you use yards in the US or just feet?
|
|
|
|
|
We do use yards. It's our meter.

It's a serious GRAVE

Microsoft is rewriting core Windows libraries in Rust β’ The Register[^]
"Microsoft is rewriting core Windows libraries in the Rust programming language, and the more memory-safe code is already reaching developers....began in 2020...DWriteCore now consists of about 152,000 lines of Rust code...(Win32 GDI) is being ported to Rust and so far has 36,000 lines of Rust code"
So about 200,000 lines of new code - with of course the possibility of introduced bugs.
And the Windows code base is about 50 million lines of code.
So only about 248 years for the rest of it. And naturally we can all be sure that Microsoft will be steady and hold the course on this initiative just like all of the others it has undertaken.

248 years down to 2.48 years using low code and AI.

We should be concerned - a lot...
If the developers of MS can develop safe code only using Rust we should run an hide...
