## Why doesn't this contain a full libc implementation?
In the short term, one of the main goals is just to provide a reference
point for people already maintaining their own libc codebases, to help
reduce interface incompatibilities between the several different
environments out there.
In the long term, there may some day be some form of standardized
syscall/import layer for wasm which would could support a full
"reference libc", at which point this repository might make sense as
a place to host such a thing.
In between, if there are specific pieces of libc functionality which
people would find useful to have here, and which don't depend on any
syscalls, we could add them, using code from existing third-party
codebases as appropriate.
