Show HN: Rhubarb – C89 Libraries in Latin

So the Vatican no longer prescribes Latin as first official language (https://thecatholicherald.com/article/vatican-ends-routine-u...) but now we get Latin C libraries?

I definitely didn't expect to see such a project, but this is a refreshingly (positively) crazy thing in the age of AI slop...

Well, it's still AI slop but it's fun to make!

I wouldn't necessarily recommend the latin part to everyone but I think writing your own standard libraries in C is a lot more accessible these days and owning your whole stack is very powerful.

Kind of inspired by Eskil Steenberg, he has a lot of good talks on writing your own C89 libraries.
