Software hardware hacky guy. I like game programming, old cameras, old AV equipment, woodworking, cats, techno remixes of Touhou music, and that one Garfield panel where Jon asks why they call it oven I made an open source console: https://gametank.zone

Show PostIn context of gamedev, that one makes a bit of sense. If you're building an engine you want other teams to build on top of, C is, uh, not the way. To be fair, C++ of the era was also awful, but less so. Modern C++ and Rust are much closer to what you actually want.
