> it would be better for a male fan of the book to just hold his tongue and not try to deny that female reader’s experience
This argument is at odds with the core idea of feminism of equality between genders. You are insinuating that a female reader would not be equipped to judge herself the "male fan's" comment.
> Writing C code and trying to keep it indented was a bit of a pain and I wish I would have done something else. I believe some compilers write ugly code and then “pretty it up” with a library before writing it out. This is something to explore!
+1 for clang-format. I have been using it as a beautifier on generated code in a TypeScript to C++ compiler.
There are some other features I wish it did for me in cleaning up my generated code. For example it doesn't remove superfluous parenthesis. It doesn't remove unused labels. It doesn't remove superfluous semi-colons (a single line of just a semi-colon). And so on. (I should, of course, just be building up an AST and pretty-printing the AST instead.)
You do get all that today already. The various Cortex'es are supported rather well + gdb in combination with a JLink gives you the debugging interfaces you need.
Or maybe the majority of their advertising is local, so it makes sense to block non-local people if supporting them is an added expense and produces no additional revenue.
