libdill is a C library that brings structured concurrency to the language, providing coroutines and concurrency primitives. It allows writing concurrent C code where coroutines have well-defined lifetimes and clean error propagation.

Use cases

• write concurrent C programs with structured concurrency
• use lightweight coroutines in C
• manage coroutine lifetimes and cancellation safely
• build network servers with concurrent handlers in C
• avoid callback-based concurrency in C

When to choose

• you need structured concurrency primitives in plain C
• you want lightweight coroutines without a runtime dependency like Go
• you are building C network or systems software with concurrent flows

When to avoid

• you are working in a higher-level language with native async support
• you need a full-featured async runtime with extensive ecosystem
• your project requires Windows-first support or heavy community activity
