Looks like the author likes C but would like a few of the features of C++ and wants to have some fun. There’s noting wrong with that, but it ain’t for me.

The stuff he considers complex is mostly complex because it handles a lot of corner cases, or else it has back compatibility constraints he will be dealing with as well.

Good luck to him though. Doing stuff for fun is the best!

I honestly like well written C a lot :)

And yes, complex stuff sometimes tries to handle "everyone's use case" but if you can limit yourself to 95% of use cases, your code suddenly become a lot simpler. The backward compatibility consideration holds true as well.

For example, I have been creating an Async Library (plus a few other things like the FileSystemWatcher etc.) that cover a good portion of what is done in libuv. Of course libuv code handles A TON more of edge cases and has a lot of compatibility constraints, but with a lot less code I can provide enough functionality to satisfy a lot of use cases. Not all use cases, but a lot of use cases.

Thanks for the good luck! I am definitively doing it just for fun :)
