C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

What is the benefit of these containerised dev environments?
I guess the biggest benefit is that you can ship it directly from there and don't have to rewrite your application because Debian ships with an outdated version of some core library
But then your shipping your entire Dev Env as well? Including vscode? Seems a bit antithetical to what docker containers are meant to be? Or do you then just strip the container back down again?
With vscode's "Remote Containers" plugin at least, it's clever enough to install that into the container after building the image. So the image built from the dockerfile doesn't contain the vscode stuff.
