## Summary

Rep. Thomas Massie replies to Elon Musk that he uses C and C++ for all his projects, including Debt Badge, Clucks Capacitor, a homemade power wall, and sculpting software for his haptic interface. He suggests AI assistance removes the clunkiness of developing in C and raises the question of how soon language choice will stop mattering.
