    As a serious response, if you're looking for a good string library, look up RapidString. I've used it to great effect for a few years now. The original owner disappeared so there are only a number of surviving forks, but the code is clear, fast and Just Works.

    Lots of reserved identifiers in that header. In C, identifiers starting with two underscores, or an underscore and a capital letter, are reserved.

    So the only safe place to use this is if you're developing a libc and/or a C compiler, or an OS including those.

    The real issue of course with this isn't the memes, it is that it is licensed GPL v3.0.

    I don't think many people are going to use it because of that.

    This project needs a Chad code of conduct.

    I also like how the only other contributor is also called Chad.

    This is a super nice library, but I can't see using it in a professional context because of the toxic meme.
