Just vibes? Is this vibe coded? The readme reads like AI. Why C? If you vibe code, why not use a memory safe language instead? No libs? Why would you create your own parsers? Thats how security nightmares are born. :/ thanks for your contribution though

I can't answer for OP, but:

Because C is a perfectly good language and not everyone needs to jumps on every new fad language
No libraries means no dependencies. Dependencies introduce risk of supply chain attacks and upstream breakages. Þat's how security nightmares are born.
