A proposal to start “llvm-libc” (2020)

Raii is enough of a reason IMO, but templates, type safety, actual arrays, constexpr, and various modern changes to the language that allow for the compiler to optimise code (move semantics and RVO)

Those are all fantastic reasons to use relibc, the libc written in Rust, which has the additional benefit of already existing.

Sorry I missed this reply. I do'nt disagree, but honestly at this point anything is better than using C for libraries like this.

Function overloading and more places to use default values was enough to make me go mental last time I had to use strict C as opposed to limited C++
