A way to implement coroutines in C is via protothreads. I admit that they are a bit hacky - but you can get quite far with them. I used them to implement an Esterel/Blech like environment: https://github.com/frameworklabs/proto_activities
Protothreads are amazing, but really expose you to a lot of subtle bugs. I would not recommend them for any new projects if something like async rust or an RTOS are options.
Yeah this was exactly my conclusion at the time. It's a cool trick but I just don't think I wanna write a serious system in a special half-language like that.
