A collection of libraries inspired by zig

I like zig, but I really like writing C. I am starting with implementing different allocator types. I don't know how the other parts of the library will fit in, but they will certainly use the allocators.

I want a series of standard collection types with nice interfaces. ArrayLists, LinkedLists, value-based HashMaps, reference-based HashMaps.

I also want to provide snippets for generating safe bit-flags and tagged unions. This will be done with the X-macro pattern. As well as snippets I want some sort of explanation of why the snippets are made the way they are, and what value it provides to follow those patterns.

I probably want a ui library. It too wil rely on a graphical drawing interface. It will be a little different though. It is inspired from my experience with using raygui. instead of making some sort of layout engine, I will provide a set of useful functions to manipulate rectangles. I think this produces programs that are easier to reason about, while still reducing needless duplication of code. The workflow relies heavily on function-static variables, which are a c superpower in this scenario. You will essentially start with some 'fixed' rectangle (probably derived from the window size) and then perform splitting operations on that rectangle. Even a dynamic split that creates a draggable border, updating the local function-static variable (which is a normalized float) to let you resize sections. Also, the interface will be like immediate mode guis, with one exception from the way raygui works. The drawing operations are deferred, and called in the reverse order. This way the first gui function that captrues input can signal to the other function that input is captured, and the drawing of the gui elements can reflect the priority of the gui functions. Overlapping gui elements in raygui is the main painpoint imo.
