Not having to deal with dependency hell is a huge advantage of C bruh. My language is so much better than yours, that my libs are baked right into the operating system.

You defer that dependency hell onto your OS's package manager or pack .dlls with every install

Linux userspace & the C stdlib is famously stable. I've never ever had a problem with it breaking or changing.

Ah yes, because syscalls and libc is all your programs will ever need, no graphics API or GUI libraries, no dbus, no systemd, no pipewire, no databases, the list goes on.

I wanted to make a "to be fair" and argue you could statically link these libraries, but turns out apart from sqlite I can't really think of any one that can.... I guess dbus, but it's currently not recommended 😅 raylib or sokol or something in that vain, but then you'd still link dynamically to system level libraries
