Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well, it's not a libc (although it seems to contain one).

Well, it seems to wrap one, prefixing the functions with 'tb_'.

Only wrap the functions for libm now, but most of libc functions have been implemented.

And will call them if some libc functions are not supported in the current toolchain.

Nice straight forwardness in this lib - love the async stuff for url downloads/access.. its modern.. its C.. its confusingly normal!

Thought so too, but then I took a look at the code.

Please don't post shallow dismissals like this to HN. Substantive critique is welcome. For example, if you told us specifically what you noticed in the code, and what weaknesses it has and why, then we would all learn something.

This wins the "Fucking Sweet" award for being hypothetically useful. In reality... not so much.

On the contrary, my opinion of it is very boring but very useful. It's the sort of thing one inevitably ends up with after enough C development, but this looks much more complete than average.

It's not all that well documented, from what I saw.
