>is this why this language is shilled so hard on this board?
the reason you see discussions about C popping up everywhere its not because it gets shilled
its because genuinely that many people use and love c on this board

about making things handy though-
once you will start writing decently sized projects, you will spend a noticeable amount of time thinking about your interfacing
its optimal to recreate certain features of sepples to a certain degree

also if you work on gcc check force inlining
it has all the advantages of being a separate function while being a zero cost abstraction.
i use it to contain spaghetti and emulate templates - i force inline duplicate code.
