+# SARA'S C UTILITIES (C UTES)
+
+A collection of utilities I keep copying around/reimplementing for various C projects.
+
+## utilities:
+- debug: some debug logging and assertion macros using stdio.
+- typeclass_helpers: macros to help with typeclasses.
+- mirror: a mirror typeclass that uses macros to enable casting typeclass instances to other typeclass instances.
+- drop: a drop typeclass to destroy objects.
+- variant: a variant struct, mainly useful in combination with dictionaries for (de-)serialization
+- vmath: float and int vector math
+- strutil: some string utilities
+- list: a heap-allocated dynamically sized list.
+- dictionary: a heap-allocated string-key hashmap.
