it's just the C standard library again but all size parameters have been removed
You say this like a joke but there are outfits out there that are arguing -- in 2024 -- whether or not it's time to use <stdint.h> and if it's stable enough. Which means everything about <stdint.h> is something they reinvent -- often fucking POORLY -- in their code.
This was not told to me with horror. This was told to me with nods of sacred reverence, large smiles and eyes with genuine crow's feet behind glasses with mildly bald heads and grey hairs. They believed that moving like this was "good" and "pragmatic", that they were doing a good thing being this "slow and careful". It was as a sign of how great and mature C was, that they had not yet used something as modern and icky as a header from 1999.
They loved it.
Kaizo C already exists.
You're all just lucky enough not to live it. And I hope you never fucking have to.
