Wow, lots of C related posts in the last few days. Is that because of vibecoders rediscovering it?

The author of this website couldn't be further from any notion of vibe coding:

Vibe coders follow the herd (Python, JS, Rust), they don't write any C.

Don't jinx it :-)

Given the amount of C code in existence for practically any domain you can think of, i imagine LLMs can do a good job in generating it.

Or a lot of people are feeling threatened by Rust and trying to push more C.
