Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
btw, Raph: Have you seen Neil Brown's edlib? Might be an interesting datapoint if nothing else. (It's written in C, Neil being a kernel hacker and all.) http://blog.neil.brown.name/category/edlib/ https://github.com/neilbrown/edlib

HN discussionExtremely impressive, props! Some parts of its novely actually give me sort of a TempleOS feel, I suppose because it feels/looks so "different". I really loved watching the Senseye video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=294&v=WBsv9IJpkD... ), though it's something that I suppose could be made in other environments as well. The translators reminded me of edlib by Neil Brown: http://blog.neil.brown.name/2…
