   C is such a piece of shit language. Only language where "I need a dynamically growing array or a hashmap" is answered with "roll your own lol n_n"

   EDIT: C (not C++, not Zig, not Rust) is the correct language for the job I'm doing. I am also very aware of how to implement dynamic arrays and hash tables. I have written my own stdlibs on freestanding C before. I do not actually need coaching in this matter, thank you. I also like C, sometimes, but sometimes I think it's a stupid piece of shit language, because it is

     look, all the best C coders trash talk C. the only time you should be worried is when someone's using C without talking shit about it

     And of course C doesn't have templates or generics or anything of the sort so rolling your own, assuming you want it to be reusable, involves gross macro abuse in order to do it and you have to use void* everywhere cause that's not an issue at all

     @eniko I think I would say the same thing about shell as well.
     shit language but pretty much irreplaceable.
