I was wondering what the goal of the project is. The README is not very clear on it, but the implementation document [1] does state design goals: - Small memory usage within a fixed-sized memory region — no mallocs - Practical for small scripts (extension scripts, config files) - Concise source — less than 1000 loc - Portable ANSI C (Windows, Linux, DOS — 32 and 64bit) - Simple and easy to understand source - Simple and easy to use C API [1] https://github.com/rxi/fe/blob/master/doc/impl.md https://github.com/rxi/fe/blob/master/doc/impl.md

> - Portable ANSI C (Windows, Linux, DOS — 32 and 64bit) I skimmed through the source, and aside from reading a file from STDIN to a `static char buf[64000];`, nothing in this seems to use the POSIX API. With that buffer trimmed to an appropriate length, it appears it could run on a microcontroller, which is always a useful thing to have.

The author developed some games. Maybe the goal of fe is to write game scripts.
