Do you have any evidence of these (unsubstantiated) claims against him?

#12Interesting to bypass CRT and work directly against the Windows API. That said, these rely on USER.32.DLL and KERNEL32.DLL to do the majority of the heavy lifting. It's a bit like 'smallest hello world in assembly' but the code is just setting up the calling convention and then passing the zero-terminated character string into `write`. Cool, but that could be done a bit more straightforwardly in C, too. A lot of asse…

Since the low-level Windows kernel API is undocumented and non-public, using these system DLLs is your only option on Windows.
It's just like linking against libc.so on any POSIX systems.

It’s a minimal Windows app, so the whole idea is to rely on Windows DLLs as much as possible.

What about his contributions to human civilization? ;)
He got a world record score on the Tempest arcade game [1], then developed an AI which beat his own record[2]. His biggest failure was, that after rebuilding TEMPEST from arcade machine ROMS, he added levels to the game but never made them public [3].

Officially, one should not use KERNEL32.dll for instance but go via crt. In practice, most interfaces are stable.

kernel32 is an official API, you're probably thinking of ntdll. CRT is the C-runtime. Not everything is written in C.

Yes, you are right, must have been thinking of ntdll.
