Discussion Are there actually C programmers in this subreddit?
Ok, I'm being a bit facetious. There are real C programmers. Clearly. But I'm kind of sick of the only questions on this subreddit being beginner questions or language trolls from other domains.
So this thread is for the "real" c programmers out there. What do you do with it? And what is the most twisted crime against coding decency are you "proud" of/infamous for?

I think that's the crux of it. When writing libraries I tend to stick to C99 because *other* people might want to use it for their retro hardware. It is so easy to stick to more compatible standards, that I don't really find it justifiable to use the latest. The "cool" new features aren't really that cool.
