Why I moved from Rust to simpler, cleaner C

This appears to be a april fools joke... judging by the Repo Lily was always written in C [0].

Yep.

First commit: https://github.com/FascinatedBox/lily/commit/1e509cbdd56ef36...

Commit list at oldest page: https://github.com/FascinatedBox/lily/commits/master?after=9...

(GH doesn't seem to have an easy way to jump around time and directly find commits. I jumped to the oldest tag, went to the commit list, clicked "older", edited the tag out of the URL then followed "older" to the start. Took around 15 clicks.)

Also, an issue created today "Rewrite Lily in Rust" [1]. Not sure if it's just the other half of the joke or not.

Yeah, it's a joke. I added an issue (https://github.com/FascinatedBox/lily/issues/294) for extra fun.
