It...is not a libc implementation. That's an impressive level of misunderstanding!

The title says 'standard library'. Are you saying that, in the context of C, that it is an error to take that to mean an implementation of libc?

Yes, I know the author's writeup then goes on to say that it is not a libc with a pile of questionable justfication. This is a custom runtime, in a single header no less, which is admittedly impressive, especially considering it provides runtime and thread safety primitives. This does not rise to the level of claiming the idea of a 'standard libarary' though, IMO. In that, I think the author misses the point.
