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.


I was talking about the posts on HN and the motivation why they are posted right now, not the author, with whom I'm familiar. Also there's literally a discussion on C for vibecoding on the front page atm https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46207505.

I stand corrected. I was unaware of the existence of hipster vibecoders.

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.

Trolling for rage drives engagement. =3
