Wanna have fun with Lazy Iterators in good ol' C?

I made a demonstration + explanation of implementing a lazy iterator interface in pure C99. As well as implementing strong lazy abstractions with the iterators!

Check it out on github

C99 was the second ISO revision actually. It's the one most people recommend using nowadays since C11 isn't too significant and C17 is just a bunch of defect fixes. C89 (ANSI C) was the first C standard. Followed by C90, which is the same as C89 but ISO took charge of the standard from then on, instead of ANSI.

Good ol' times. I learned to code in JS as addition to html + css, then ASP Classic (back those days we call it ASP 😆) and then C, after that Java, PHP, C#, JS advanced level and so on.. my gosh, what a bunch of languages. I kinda like the power of C but also appreciate the ease to use of the languages on a higher level, I would need to re-study the things in C to avoid messing it up with mem assignments for sure hahaha
