  • Its cross-platform support (not just for using but also for building it) is not there yet, and it is quite huge and unstandardized with only one full implementation. I’d agree the last part will change with age, but given the frequent large changes and feature additions I am afraid it will be harder and harder and it is simply too complex and fast-moving for many low-level applications. It is closer to C++ than C in my eyes. I’d be happy seeing it replace C++ though for its memory safety benefits!















  • It’s been quite a while since I made them, but to start this community a little, I will share my first successful (for my standards) sourdough loaves, after 1-2 months of failures :P

    Both of them are whole spelt loaves, which have some difficulty compared to wheat flour because the gluten is not as strong. The dough is made with 67% hydration, which I found to be optimal for this flour and my level of skill. I did stretch and folds for building dough strength and for the raisin bread, I added the raisins while doing the final lamination before shaping.

    Since it was made in German winter and I had made bad experiences with waiting longer (less rise) I only waited for a 30% size increase (measured with a small piece of dough in separate thin glass container) before lamination and final shaping, and then popped it in the fridge overnight.

    The first one is plain: Whole loaf Cross-section

    The second one with raisins (a little less rise, perhaps due to poor scoring):

    Whole loaf Delicious slices

    Both were delicious, unfortunately life did not give me the time and energy to make more since then. 😅
