Just back in times where we try at least not to back up claims with citations that can't withstand a 1-minute check.

  Going over that LLVM-libc website again, this is absolutely hilarious. It reads like a bucket list of grandiose features, done by a Junior developer with lots of motivation, but with no idea that these add costs and complications, and no idea what's really important. The Git repo matches that impression. There are neatly arranged directories containing CMakeLists and fuzzing stuff and READMEs and what not. Is there a good reason why strcpy() needs to be fuzzed? Some directories contain a lot of header files with 20 lines of comment junk and namespace junk, surrounding a single line that contains a function signature. And looking at the code, it seems not even 1% of the actual functionality is implemented. I will be extremely surprised if this project gets ever completed.

  Sometimes I do make the failure of doing a hasty reply, should know better. Trying to reduce the amount of C code in the world since 1992, sometimes I win, sometimes I loose, in what concerns me, the outcome looks pretty much positive to me outside embedded development and FOSS UNIX clones. As for the whole C compilers written in C++ thread, a proper reply will follow up rest assured, even if takes a couple of weeks like last time.
