So I spent 3 years in Epitech, which forked into 42, and the first 4 weeks aren't a competition but more like an onboarding thing. You basically learn C in 4 weeks, with coding tests pretty much every day. It sets the base and it turns

Callbacks can be avoided using co-routines. I started a project that uses asynchronous sockets but they appear synchronous. With a bit of abstraction, it's really easy to develop network applications even in C: https://githu

You show me yours, I show you mine ;) https://github.com/reginaldl/librinoo Just to comment on your post, as using blocking calls in coroutine might be a nice feature I think it defeats the whole concept of coroutine.
