You can now run WebAssembly on Cloudflare Workers

Everyone who's in CS at UIUC has to write their own libc replacement:

There is (or at least was) a score board you can compare against. By the end of the MP, there are usually handful beating libc.

The thing is.. libc is battle tested, so I'd always trust it over a hand rolled solution. It's always interesting to see improvements though (usually at a cost).

True enough, but if you follow the link in GP, it's not really a libc replacement. For example, free() is a no-op. It's a drastically small subset of libc.

I'm confused; isn't libc an interface and not an implementation?

OP probably means glibc
