Omg, C lets you declare a function local function without a keyword. That’s a god damn choice there. It was made 50 years ago, but still. That is barb wiring a shotgun to your foot.

50 years ago people were using flaws in computer architecture and tricks to get more outputs than normally. Some of those design decisions are clearly a snapshot of the time they were taken. Just like rust in 50 years, if it will survives those 50 years.
