Part of the reason I hate C so much is that the last project I wrote in C was an X window manager and I realized how much shit I was reimplementing that has been standard in any language worth anything at all since the 70s.
It also made me hate X.
C is groundbreaking because it's the only language people still use where arrays are just vibes
C doesn't really have a standard library, not like python does. instead you need to know how to find a lot of things people already wrote, that probably contain the same bug every single person who stepped here before you missed too, in an unbroken line to 1978
but like not in a fun hero's journey sense
