@miss_rodent i have never done programming for retrocomputing, but i still think about variable sizes because my first C experience was for a microcontroller with 2kiB of ram, does that count?

@artemist Yeah, I'd say that counts. The main reasoning was to have to deal with a resource-constrained environment; microcontrollers work, retro hardware just gives convenient stable targets to draw lines around. (and lend themselves to fun-but-still-complex projects like games and custom operating systems.)
