I also have one. I call it "C"
C is almost the perfect subset for me, but then I miss templates (almost exclusively for defining generic data structures) and automatic cleanup. That's why I'm so interested in Zig with its comptime and defer features.
You may also like Odin if you haven't already started zig. It's less of a learning curve and feels more like what c should have always been. It has defer and simple generics, but doesn't have the magic of
comptime
.This comment smells like unix
Damm, C23 has a lot of changes. Some of them are really good, some of them I strongly dislike(keyword auto, addition of nullptr).
