  Who says it's designed to be maintainable? Not everyone writes code for the reason that everyone else does.

  There is no reason why couldn't it be made out of more functions. Absolutely none. In fact, you can fork the repository and do the refactoring yourself, right now. If I had to guess, the functions are tied pretty closely to how the author is parsing the file; "next" (next token), "expr" (expression), "stmt" (statement), and "main". As for the project being called "C in 4 functions"; at best, I'd argue that's just a linkbait-y title since it's not actually C (it's a subset). I don't have a problem with the code _per se_; just the title.
