Yeah, I was expecting a lot more than "I glued some libraries together in C!", especially when the author is claiming 'from scratch'. Seems like a somewhat disingenuous title if you ask me..

I suppose when your accustomed level of abstraction is interpreted languages like JavaScript, and "the web", "gluing some libraries together in C" is a somewhat novel and interesting endeavor.
I bit my tongue and decided to hold that jab at JavaScript programmers, but yeah, I think that's exactly what were looking at here
I wasn't trying to make any jabs, just an observation that getting outside of your comfort zone can be novel and interesting, even if it's mundane to people that commonly spend lots of time there.
