@Gottox @ska A true C programmer recognizes that linked lists aren't the answer (at least not extrusive ones) and that reaching for them as a generic utility means you want to be writing a different language than C.

  @ska (I know every C programmer starts their own utility library containing a linked list implementation - it's a law of nature!)

  @ska in my spare time, I'm preferring C because it's fun to me. If I'm being paid, I owe it my clients to not waste their money on debugging segfaults, weird posix edge cases and race conditions. Also I don't want to be paid to implement linked lists for the 100th time.
