Actually this sounds useful as alternative to C++ stdlib:
i've often compiled C++ code via GCC
for simple stuff where C++ stdlib isn't included by
default and all 'nice' C++ things are not linked,
giving less overhead per file, but forced you
to rely on ancient C functions.
This would be a middle ground solution between
unsafe C and bloated stdc++.
- pagghiu 3y agoI don't like to market it as an alternative to C++ stdlib, also because it doesn't cover all the things done by the C++ stdlib (in particular regarding Containers and Algorithms, as noted in other threads on this discussion). I like to market it as an "alternative world" where the C++ stdlib is more a platform abstraction library focused on carrying practical tasks like networking, Async I/O, HTTP etc. It's also definitively placing itself in the middle between unsafe C and bloated C++.
