TCC is great, but the C “standard” library is a mess (and huge, and inconsistent across Windows and Linux). Zig includes a C compiler and C library in a convenient package. But my main issue with C is that it’s just not productive. Dealing with strings in C is a chore. I also like Lua, but the last time I used it (admittedly 10 years ago), the closest thing to a standard library was minimal. Maybe worth another look, thanks!
