On: The case for a modern language

[dottedmag]

C compilation is not that bad, what makes it atrocious is the preprocessing step.

Show me the large-ish (100K+ LOC) codebase with dependencies that can be cross-compiled, does not come with tons of cruft like autoconf or Meson, and does not require installing reams of software on the host as "libraries", and then we are talking.

While a programming language and ecosystem includes some of the culture, bad code and project structure IMO should not be blamed on C. Modern C projects are a breeze

So, where's the link to a modern C project that is a breeze to work with? Requirements are in the parent comment.
