Can you write a performant, generic vector data structure in C? Until then it is useless in my book.

So useless that Linux, gcc, and all UNIX system commands is written in C. But you're probably doing much more important things, right?

We should definitely appreciate the craftsmanship. This comment says everything, regardless of how trendy Rust might be, let’s respect the craft, your favourite language doesn’t make you more important. Legends!

Rust is not my favorite language and I didn’t mean to speak anything negative about projects written in C, but I do think that those that become great did so in spite of C, not because of it.

No access to performant generic data structures is a major reason why truly performance oriented programs rather choose C++ over C.
