If you stare into Go's stdlib long enough, you start seeing things.
Dark things. Things you weren't meant to see.
Like this function that uses variables named φ and β.
In today's crazy world, writing C is the only sane thing to do.
P.S. You don't need AI; you have AI in netdb.h.
Solod (a subset of Go that translates to C) now has an online playground!
I guess that means it's a real language now 😁

The "io" package is a core part of Go's standard library. Porting it to C was an interesting challenge.
I had to figure out how to handle slices, multiple return values, errors, and interfaces in C. But in the end, it worked out pretty well!

Could Go be a better C? I think so!
Meet Solod — a strict subset of Go that translates to C, without hidden memory allocations and with source-level interop.

Working on something crazy these days — using Go to write regular C code. Wish me luck :)
How to implement "defer" keyword in C (allows to free memory and other resources correctly): implementations with C23/GCC, C11/GCC, GCC/Clang... - Blog Post by Anton Zhiyanov @antonz.org #Programming antonz.org/defer-in-c/
What makes modern systems languages stand out? Many things — but allocators are a big one.
Let's explore how Rust, Zig, Odin, C3, and Hare design their allocators, and then build one in C!
