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.

So it's a different way to get a standard operating environment.
Could you not achieve something similar by making the build and test happen in the docker container, while keeping the IDE etc separate? Bundling the IDE seems a bit overkill.
Fwiw, in my experience, "it works on my laptop" is a great way to shake out bugs/API implementation quirks, so that's a benefit for our team. Plus we have a mishmash of IDEs, so prescribing one or the other would probably cause more problems than it solved.
Still, interesting solution for those who have the problem.
