> Program directly against syscalls

Works nicely on Linux where the syscall interface is explicitly stable, but on many (most?) other platforms this is not the case.

> There Is No Heap

I don't understand what this means, when it's followed by the definition of a heap allocation interface. The paragraph after the code block conveys no useful information.

> Null-terminated strings are the devil’s work

Agreed! I also find the stance regarding perf optimization agreeable.
