Zlob.h 100% POSIX and glibc compatible globbing lib that is faste and better

Meet zlob.h, a new library that promises “10x faster” file wildcard searches and claims to be “100% compatible” with the old-school Linux standard tools. Translation for non-nerds: it matches filenames like *.c super fast, skips folders you don’t want (thanks to .gitignore), and adds modern patterns people actually use. The dev says it’s speedy thanks to fancy CPU tricks (SIMD) and low-level shortcuts (direct system calls). But the real fireworks are in the comments.

On one side, hype train: fans like one commenter cheer that it’s “faster and supports all the modern… formats,” giving big “finally!” energy. Another applauds the license, hinting this could be drop-in for serious projects. On the other side, the standards squad arrives with sirens blazing. A sharp-eyed critic fires off, “Since when {...} is a glob pattern?”—basically asking if brace tricks like {a,b} are legit or just bash magic. That kicked off a micro-standard war: compatibility vs convenience.

Then came the comedy: the typo police noticed the readme’s “fast and loose” vibe—“Was this vibe coded?”—and even the launch title’s “faste” became a meme. Meanwhile, folks poke at “cross‑platform” claims that don’t handle Windows backslashes yet. So the vibe? Cool tech, spicy claims, and grammar drama. If zlob.h delivers the speed without breaking expectations, developers will adopt it. If not, it’ll be remembered as the library that started a speed war—and a spelling bee.
