It's lightweight, well-designed and written with friendly licensing. However, I'm noticing there are a lot of other standard libraries and tools on a typical system and often many of them are bloated or not so well designed. I've been looking for a good forum to discuss using alternative libraries and tools. I've checked out projects like Beyond Linux from Scratch and suckless.org/Plan 9 and several other options. I've even checked out some embedded systems mailing lists/forums. Have yet to find a good forum to discuss topics like these with interested developers. Does anyone know of a mailing list, forum, etc. where one could discuss such topics. If so, please let me know. If not, and if anyone on the list is interested in discussing this sort of thing further, please e-mail me. At the moment, I'm investigating finding a less bloated alternative to libintl. Did notice gettext-tiny as part of Sabotage. I've also run across 3 other options and am looking at pros and cons of the implementations. Thanks. Sincerely, Laura
