    Ridiculous and delightful. This scratches the shopping itch without the spend. A tiny “keep” button to pin the funniest items (or export a collage) would be perfect. Congrats on me…

    Pretty wild to see a concurrent, non-moving GC strapped onto plain C. If I can take a mid-size C codebase and trade ~2–3× runtime for fewer memory footguns, I’d take it. How rough …
