Yes, unfortunately the threading primitives require libc. Ditto subprocesses. It's on my list.
But regarding: "Oops... apparently this is vibecoded. Welp, I just wasted ten minutes of my life reviewing slop that I'm not going to get back."
Do not talk to people like this. I don't care if you don't like the library, or if you found a flaw in it. I am a regular person who wrote this code for no other reason than I thought it would be good to exist. It's unbelievably rude to call it vibecoded slop, or a waste of your life, and it makes me sad that someone who would write an otherwise thoughtful comment would say something like that.
You're absolutely right. I should have expressed my late-night frustration more kindly.
No problem and thanks for the apology. Happens to the best of us. Regardless, thanks for the comment — I definitely didn’t mean to slip by the pthread stuff on a “well technically this isn’t libc.so”. It’s just code that’s pretty hard to get right and I haven’t had a chance to rewrite it!
I thought this was a hilarious comment, for what it's worth.
Many of us are forced to spend time reviewing automatically generated code for work, so there is an understandable reluctance to be asked to do the same here as well.
You didn't write it, though. And it is slop. If you had actually wrote it, you might learn from some of the criticism or be able to engage with it on an objective level.

Could you clarify how much of this code and blog post was written by an LLM?
