Good programmers choose the right tool for the job. Good programmers use an IDE, because they do understand the importance of using a debugger, so they can check the value of a variable without having to log it to the console, use watches, change values on the fly, debug step by step. Noobs use vim because they think it's cool and they believe programming is about how fast you can write the code because you can keep your hands on the keyboard. Also C in 2022 is a bad choice for anything, included low level programming, where C++ and Rust and Zig are a much better choice.

Great Video! Well if you want to try this again, but with an easier to use API, C has GLib+GIO (spun off from the GTK project) which you can use to write all of this in Pure C. GLib can provide pre-built data structures (yes, it has Hash Maps), and GIO which provide a high level File and Socket API including streams, all in Pure C. (Note, GLib and GIO DOES NOT depend on GTK, you can import them independently).

This isn't just a learning project. As a backend developer (who loves C/C++ More than any other language) i am about to write my own web server using C++ (i use C++ instead of C just for tge OOP i don't use the STL i hate it) That's because most used web servers are open source and available for everyone, so hackers can download and start pentesting the webserver, potentially detecting an RCE vulnerablitity which puts all servers using this web server at risk. When we write our own PERSONAL web server, we'll avoid all types of server attacks (because our web server isn't available for hackers to pentest) and pentesting requires debugging, analyzing the source code, and so on.... This video is like a push to me to create my own web server that serves files, and execute backend scripts such as python, php, and javascript.

The reduction in penetration testing stops being so valuable when the server is running scripts, because of the increased chance of unsafe inputs slipping into the interpretter.

If we were in the old days, we wouldn't be using C as you did but instead through a superserver, like inetd, and you could easily make a server using printf's, read() and write() to stdin/stdout (you could make a webserver with AWK or Shell script like this). Second, if you are already using unix sockets, you can use unix/posix functions, and there's regex in posix c. Fun fact: Even the UNIX "fathers" didn't like sockets (that came from BSD, not UNIX) but their solution was only done in Plan 9 through the /net directory, and they had to reinvent how file system works to make it work (and in the process they created private namespaces, which somehow creeped to linux as mount namespaces, and in linux the mount namespace is as powerful as private namespace of Plan 9, but everyone uses as only a gimick for isolating environments like chroots. This is sad, to be honest...)
