I am a first year CS student. when I got my first laptop recently, I got crazy and installed debian (had some prior experience with command line), it didn't work very well for laptop. All DEs except enlightenment (yeah i even tried it) had lots of display related glitches due to cheap hardware.
Then I moved on and installed fedora. Nothing to tweak from CLI. Just changed few settings from GUI and peace of mind even on relatively obscure hardware.
It has been vastly simplified and worth it for anyone in IT / CS related fields.

To What Degree Is It Possible to Do Memory Management at Compile Time?

It however brings some good concepts to the table.apart from rust, I have found some papers on mercury logic programming language, cyclone...
AFAIK most of us don't complain when a dynamic website doesn't work. We just use a modern browser.
