This repository features a example project targeting Linux for the ISO9899:1990 (C89, C90, ANSI) language standard with make files, test execution.

Why ISO9899:1990

• portability
• Compatibility
• little syntactic sugar
• Full control
• low level

Why are there no Frameworks and only standard tooling?

Having external dependencies or foreign code can cause problems. So writing everything by yourself has advantages:

• Having no frameworks is a lean approach with low overhead
• Writing own tooling help to understand the project's needs
• Solving problems on your increases the developer's skills
• Not having a foreign code means not having to rely on others
• Can be set up and compiled off-line
• reduced binary size because only what's needed is implemented
• fully compatible with your target platform
• no exotic dependencies
