> Hardly anything is written against the kernel ABI except glibc itself. I'm working hard to change that. Here's an entire lisp interpreter written in freestanding C using nothing but Linux system calls: https://github.com/lone-lang/lone It has a system-call primitive too, which means it can do anything. Here's a TCP echo server written in lone lisp: https://github.com/lone-lang/lone/blob/master/examples/tcp-e... It works, and you don't need libc. > Like it or not, glibc is the singular entry point for desktop Linux Well I don't like it, and I've made it my mission to fix it. Maybe lisp isn't the answer, Rust is. I've revived my liblinux crate too. https://github.com/matheusmoreira/liblinux I'm going to add system calls to this thing every day until I have every single one. Then I'll use them to make all of my applications. Already have m

Thanks for reading and for your interest in lone! > I also love the APE setup Yeah, jart's cosmopolitan is awesome. I've even sent some floating point code her way! I have my own take on the "embed data into the executable" problem too. It's the one thing I've made that I think is truly novel. I developed a tool to copy the data into the ELF in such a way that Linux mmaps it in automatically. Lone can just reach it at runtime via the auxiliary vector. No need to read /proc/self/exe. You might enjoy this article: https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/self-contained-lone-... The ELF editor is written in C right now. I'm getting the language ready to host it as a lone application. That'll make it easy to redesign this feature and develop even more high level features on top of the code loading. https://github.com/lone-lang/lone/issues/8

You might enjoy my work on the lone lisp language. I got rid of the libc and implemented an entire interpreter with nothing but Linux system calls. Been working on it and blogging about it for about 3 years now. http://github.com/lone-lang/lone/
