    Years ago, older C programmers told me you don’t know C unless you use dynamic memory management. I ended up rarely writing any C, but when I do, it’s usually on microcontrollers where dynamic memory management isn’t even supported out of the box.

    Jokes on you, greybeards!

      Using a file system is much less bad than dynamically allocating memory, at least as long as you keep a predefined set of files.
