Title
Adding Modules to C in 10 Lines of Code
Abstract
I know what you’re thinking. You don’t believe me. After all, it took C++ only 20 years to design and implement modules. I must be nuts. They must be coming to take me away. [1] But hear me out. Even if you don’t agree, it’s an interesting story. And I know you want modules in your C work, as #include is an abomination in modern languages. #include is as primitive as a VHS copy of 2001: A Space Odyssey. This module method can work with your favorite C compiler, too!
Oh, and wait till you see what importing modules from other languages does to C!
