Somewhat related - but there are a ridiculous number of platform/systems that ship with derivative of Dinkum C++ standard library - MSVC (included). When you lookup the company behind it - it's basically small shop that seems to be primarily one guy up in MA.

That one guy even has it's own Wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._J._Plauger
He wrote a very lovely book called "The C standard library". It contains a full implementation of the c standard library with lots of explenations and excerpts from the C standard.
That one guy has been at it for a very long time. I remember buying Dinkum around 2000.
This one guy has something like badge #10 in C++
