Interesting, this page has been around for a while and did not used to belong to codecrafters.io. I guess they bought the original repo so it would redirect here?

Here's what I remember seeing (someone's archive of it anyway): https://github.com/Sevistuo/https-github.com-danistefanovic-....

So, let’s go through an example. Since you’re used to using C, I’d suggest looking through the awesome-C repo. From there, you might decide you’re interested in graphics, so you check out OpenGL.

Awesome C - oz123

You can find a lot of resources at oz123 / awesome-c and this [https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/c-c-tutorials-825748/](C/C++ Tutorials thread).

For example, you can use the C language with sds strings (see https://github.com/antirez/sds) if you want to have an easier time with string formatting and don't want to worry about using the famously unsafe string.h functions correctly. You'll still program in ISO C, but just not in the standard library. The same applies to pretty much all parts of the standard library, the only part unsurpassed is pretty much just printf and the math headers (math.h, fenv.h, tgmath.h, complex.h) imo, and the occasional call to exit. A good place to look for libraries if you want to go that route is the awesome-c collection: https://github.com/oz123/awesome-c

There's an awesome C list of libraries and frameworks [1]. Pick one that suits your needs.

Time and again folks say such and such isn't suitable tool to do something. While some of those admonitions are true, if you're doing something to learn, feel free to ignore those and enjoy your learning. There're folks who learn assembly even today and learn a great deal of other things than assembly and have fun too.

As for C, it'd recommend most folks know the basics since many "modern" languages totally don't teach you those, and in fact hide the details from you that things feel like magic to you eventually if you keep using these high-level languages. This is okay as long as you can know the basics and map them back when needed.
