For your level 2 code, `uint64_t data[];` is wrong for types whose alignment is greater than `uint64_t`, and also wasteful for types whose alignment is smaller (for example, under an ilp32 ABI on 64-bit architectures).
For your level 3 code, it should be `int main() { List(Foo) foo_list = {NULL};`
Note that working around a lack of `typeof` means you can't return anything. Also, your particular workaround allows `const`ness errors since `==` is symmetrical.
You can't safely omit `payload` since you need it to know the correct size. Consider a `List(int64_t)` and you try to add an `int32_t` to it - this should be fine, but you can't `sizeof` the `int32_t`. Your code is actually lacking quite a bit to make this work.
=====
There are 2 major limitations to generics in C right now:
* Delegating to a vtable (internal or external) is limited in functionality, since structs cannot contain macros, only functions.
* Delegating to an external vtable (mandatory to avoid overhead) means that you have to forward-declare all of the types you'll ever use a vtable with. So far the best approach I've found is to declare (but not define) static functions in the same forwarding header I declare the typedefs in; note that GCC and Clang differ in what phase the "undefined static" warning appears in for the case where you don't actually include that particular type's header in a given TU.
(think about writing a function that accepts either `struct SizedBuffer {void *p; size_t len;};` or `struct BoundedBuffer {void *begin; void *end;};`, and also const versions thereof - all from different headers).
This is also problematic, because there might be padding and the calculated size might be too small:
`malloc(sizeof(*node) + data_size);`

Sometimes I wish we could have kept XML alive alongside JSON.. I miss the comments, CDATA etc, especially when you have to serialize complex state. I know there are alternatives to JSON like YAML but I felt XML was better than YAML. We adopted JSON for its simplicity but tried to retrofit schema and other things that made XML complex. Like we kind of reinvented JSON Schema, and ended up like what XSD did decades ago and still lacking a good alternative to XSLT..
I agree wholeheartedly, but the XML library in them JS ecosystem is shit.

> I think anxiety in the virtual room is high and everyone just becomes paralyzed
I don't think that's necessarily anxiety. I'm sure there's a name for it, but it's a bit like the "bystander effect", where no one does anything because everyone expects someone else to deal with it. Something similar seems to happen in meetings with too many participants.
There German word for that is Verantwortungsdiffusion (responsibility diffusion)
I have reported your homophobic comment.

It's nearly impossible to find good, honest apps on the play store anymore. Everything is loaded with ads, in-app purchases, spyware, and wants way more permissions than it needs. Google is making it more and more attractive to completely sever the ties to the play store. Although there are a few things I still want from there.
I use aurora store to filter for ads and trackers

One thought regarding footnotes. I often find myself searching in the reverse direction, i.e. I have a footnote, where is the superscript to which it belongs?. This is quite difficult to do by eye, so perhaps some goto reference type functionality could be useful in this case.
Trivial in LaTeX, does word not do that?
It probably wouldn't be usable for a general-purpose programming language, but for a special-purpose scripting language I could see it making the language implementation easier.
