***Requirements:*** Good C knowledge and knowledge of I/O APIs is essential.
-### Less sucking C99 subset spec
-
-Although sufficient, C99 is not a perfect programming language. It suffers from
-legacy syntax and semantics and lacks features that make designing libraries
-and developing abstractions much easier. To address these shortcomings the
-student should survey the problems of C, evaluate possible solutions and
-enhance the language as a subset of C99.

-### Modern libc
-
-The standard libc is full of awkward and legacy concepts. We believe that
-recent approaches such as Google's bionic libc are a step into the right
-direction, though not radical enough. We think there is a great opportunity to
-implement a completely new libc which abstracts a very nice standard
-environment which can be implemented on modern OS platforms in a straightforward
-manner.
-Our goal would be to realize an initial proposal on Linux.

-### Improve tcc
-
-We would like to see [tcc](
http://bellard.org/tcc/) development continued and
-improved. gcc is too slow, too focused on language-agnostics and particularly
-too focused on C++ support. We believe most open source software is written in
-C and makes no use of C++; hence, we desire an improved tcc.
-
-llvm has the same drawbacks as gcc.
-
-We'd like the improved tcc to be able to build all suckless projects and perhaps
-even the modern libc replacement.
