Original: C is way more different than I thought

Short summary

A developer with two years of Zig experience shares lessons from learning C over the past six weeks. Key differences include C's fragmented header system versus Zig's unified std library, fewer keywords, and the need to adapt to manual memory management. The author appreciates the helpful C community and tools like AddressSanitizer for catching bugs.

  • Developer transitions from Zig to C, finding more differences than expected
  • C's fragmented headers and fewer keywords compared to Zig's unified std library
  • Community feedback and compiler flags like -fsanitize proved invaluable for debugging
