In plain words

Asymmetric stackful cross-platform Coroutines in pure C is a library for developers working with C that implements stackful coroutines across multiple platforms. It allows developers to write asynchronous code using coroutine patterns without leaving the C language. The library is written entirely in C, making it portable and suitable for projects that need lightweight concurrency mechanisms without external dependencies.

    Hi all, I have built Cimba, a multithreaded discrete event simulation library in C. Cimba uses POSIX pthread multithreading for parallel execution of multiple simulation trials, while coroutines provide concurrency inside each simulated trial universe. The simulated processes are based on asymmetric stackful coroutines with the context switching hand-coded in assembly. The stackful coroutines make it natural to express agentic behavior by conceptually placing oneself "inside" that process and describing what it does. A process can run in an infinite loop or just act as a one-shot customer…

    I built a minimal Forth-like stack interpreter library in C2025 · ▲47

    This weekend I created stacklib.h - a single-header library that brings Forth-style stack operations to C. It implements a basic interpreter with: - Stack operations (push/pop/dup/swap/over/drop) - Arithmetic (+, -, *, /) - Output (., emit, cr) - Stack inspection (.s, depth) Example usage: Stack s; stack_init(&s); dict_init(); exec(&s, "10 20 + ."); // Prints "30" exec(&s, "1 2 3 4 .s"); // Shows stack contents The library is self-contained, requires no dependencies, and handles basic error checking. It was inspired by wanting to understand…
