I like that it looks like Node.js http module. But I'm too scared to use C with pointers and malloc, so I'll stick to Node.js. I'm however jealous of people that are competent in C, assembly or any other low level systems language.

Pointers to long lived objects on the heap aren't a big deal in C.

Pointer arithmetic and pointers to ephemeral objects is what sucks.

Try it out! It’s not that complicated to pick up and even a basic understanding of how memory allocation works goes a long way to making you a better programmer.

[wwright]

imo it is not memory allocation that is the problem, but pointer ownership, which C neither helps you understand nor implement
