Maintain It with Zig

I mean, C11 also has generics, but I would really suggest not using it X). See https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/generic

Of couse, it's a much less powerful feature, there's nothing like interfaces or stuff, just a way to "overload" based on the type.

Thank you. I had no idea that you could do such a thing in C11 preprocessor

_Generic() is not a preprocessor feature, but a "real" language feature (I was confused too when I saw it first though).

The only preprocessor part in the example is mapping the function-like macro 'cbrt(X)' to the language keyword '_Generic(X)'.
