Ahh, the consequences of using the PDP-11 as your abstract machine.
I find C fun in small doses, but if I ever had to scale up to an actual product, I'd quickly want to off myself from copy-pasting my vector implementation for every different type it needs to contain.
(Of course, I could commit macro abuse to emulate generics, but... that's just asking for trouble.)
Well it made sense! In the 70s, and just doesn't anymore. 🤷
