Writing Modern Software in C
Speaker: Gabriel Dechichi
C is often seen as an antiquated language reserved for low-level systems, but to this day, no other language has been able to surpass it in both speed and reliability. Meanwhile, after 20 years of "modern" language features, software feels slower than ever—both to run and to build. This begs the question: why not write modern software in C? In this talk, I’ll share my experience building a game engine in C that’s at least 10x faster than other engines on the market, runs everywhere, and loads instantly. We'll also explore how writing modern software in C looks like and how it can be not just viable, but a joy to write. If you care about speed, simplicity, and knowing exactly what your code is doing, this talk is for you.
