@malwareminigun @smurthys @typeswitch @thephd the win32 is pretty great, the size of it all means it contains just about every API design issue one can think of, now, in hindsight 😀

I do actually like it overall though

@Paxxi I didn't intend to rip on Win32 specifically here; lots of C APIs are horrible. And I'll take a lot of these to one fork(). An API that looks basic but has far-reaching implications, makes accurate memory use tracking impossible, and generally creates cross cutting costs against the whole system. Whereas these examples are contained to only their immediate callers.

@malwareminigun I totally agree, and as I said I generally like the win32 api 😀
