"I am an unusual beast. All my solo project games I've been making 
recently have been written in 'vanilla' C. Nobody does this. So I think 
it might be interesting to explain why I do."

I think C is a very good language to write games and other 
software. 

My only concern with the idea is in case you have to use 
some API that you need (let's say direct X) that have 
only C++ version.

It is easier to add C into C++ project compared to add C++
into C project.

Why is it some people find dates on blog entries anathema? Only by going
to the main page of his site, and seeing the ordering of things can I
guess this is mid-2016 (it's after "2015 in review" and before "2016 in
review"). This gives me some small amount of information about how dated
something is.

looked in source, too, for a date; it's nice clean html
