Honestly, who cares?

On a more constructive side, I think adding some value by giving the poster some feedback or engaging in a conversation about the topic would be nice, otherwise it just sounds as an attempt to show off.

I'm not a fan of these "header only" projects nor am I a fan of overly clever code because even though it's fun and rewarding to write it's not a great fit for larger or collaborative projects where consistently adhering to a coding style (hopefully one of the secure ones) and favoring readability over "coolness" are the way to go.

People love to blame C for all of its footguns but not a lot of people like to write "boring" code which kinda sucks...

Please don't take this personally, even though I have to admit that I felt somewhat irritated upon reading your comment it is my no means my intention to attack you with this rant.

Why not? rurban's work is solid and should be shown off.

I think it's not polite, if you just want to show something cool you did you could create your own thread. You don't interrupt a street musicians and start playing in front of the crew just because you think you are a "better" artist or that your version of the song is cooler right? It's common courtesy.

On a side note, I looked at both codebases and even though I've already said that I wouldn't use either of them I have to say that I find rurbans to be somewhat messier and uglier so I have to disagree with you.
