> I switched from C++ to C about 7 years ago and never looked back

I'm definitely considering the same, and you're right - it's not C++ itself that appeals to me at all, it's the libraries. I'm not sure what C libraries I'd use for collections (instead of the STL and Abseil [0]), or in lieu of CLI11 [1] or Dear ImGui [2].

[1] https://github.com/CLIUtils/CLI11

[2] https://github.com/ocornut/imgui




DearImgui’s coding style is a good compromise.
