I have a much better and free solution. Better parenting. Forbid your child from accessing the things this is attempting to protect them from. Things like Reddit.

So? Reddit means nothing and is only home to the criminally insane and Linux users who are there only to bash FreeBSD.

You are correct. While applications may not work without Xorg, Wayland's goal is to completely replace it everywhere.

Well, you're buying the product not the salesman. That the product comes from China is not Amazon's fault if that product is what you want.

If you're not using Xorg, you're using wayland. I don't see much hope for anything else. Especially if it's written in Zig.

Now wait a minute. I have no way of knowing but I'd bet it's talked about online. I'm pretty sure Fortran is used in a lot of scientific (at least) programming on modern software somewhere. Perhaps in a university setting or highly mysterious science but effectively used nonetheless.

Just to jump in, we've never had problems returning things to Amazon or get things fixed when something's gone missing.

With pencil, paper and card punch?

With pencil and paper.

That's like saying "I'll learn some C++."

To ditto what scottro said. My wife wrote a check a few months ago for something like $60 but our bank account got dinged for a few thousand. The check got "washed" and cashed by a different bank. Turns out the bank that cashes the check is responsible for security and they were the ones who had...

Isn't that the same thing you are doing about Rust?

Therefore, all programs should be written in assembly. QED
