Parent article: Truly portable C applications

I'm also an LWN subscriber. I was so happy when I saw that Daroc took the time to put together a second, very well researched article that covered many subtle facets of Cosmopolitan Libc that typically go unnoticed. In the four years I've been working on this project in public, more effort went into this piece than any I've seen so far. However this comment section is is not the kind of attention I want. While I can't thank you enough for the support you've provided, not moderating these kinds of comments probably does more to hurt my career, since this will likely be the part that folks remember.

I understand there are concerns here about the name of my project. For what it's worth, I named it "cosmopolitan" in the sense of cosmopolitan liberalism, which I define as wanting to feel at home in every nation, and the reason why I did that is because my project builds executables that aim to feel at home on (almost) every operating system. I created tools that help you build programs that overcome artificial barriers so you can have impact helping more communities, while respecting the rules each platform put in place. If anyone has actionable feedback on how I can do that better, then I'm more than happy to listen.

I approved the above comment because, given that the poster has been targeted for extensive criticism here, to do otherwise seemed unfair. This is not an invitation to restart the discussion, though; it needs to stop here.
