i guess my native language would be C.

for some recent project i ran into:
----
https://github.com/glouw/ctl
----
"C template library".  (i don't really know C++'s 'stl', so i can't
compare).  but, i found this (mostly moribund) project, once i sort of
figured out how to use of it, a fairly pleasant straight-jacket into
which to fit while coding in C.
cheers, Greg
