Hi Aitor et al, Thinking a little bit about C, and recalling what Reiner explained earlier, I should think, we can create our own C library to handle lists as in classes without actually importing more dependencies: for that we use a struct that has function members, just like a class. Our implementation shouldn't require class inheritance, so simple structures should suffice.
