Stringing ourselves along
Don Park posted a pointer to a comparison of C string libraries by the author of Vstr. I count 22 different libraries, some of which overlap in purpose and functionality. I'm all for letting a thousand (or 22) flower bloom, but its also discouraging to see so many versions of the same thing, especially when strings are a foundational programming construct, and the source of many programming errors.
