I find this a tad funny since ccc is my claude code alias, since cc is taken up by the actual, working, greatly optimised and really well made Clang C compiler.

cc is the original Unix name for the C compiler binary

I'd really recommend not. It's 75% one guy running AI agents talking like it's his project, 24% shitposting about AI, and 1% anything else.

You'll get a much better view about what it does and doesn't do by spending same amount of time looking at it yourself and maybe trying to take that back to the comments here where there is a decent chance at least a massively larger portion of the comments aren't bots or memes.

Which says a lot ..

Any way, for what it's worth, I tried it, using a random code; Unable to compile; Does not support c17, apparently;

Please take the time to run llvm's test suite with it and share the results !

(but it does not really matter)

edit: it does not matter because we'd need something new or something better; It fails on both accounts;

Despite your objection to looking, I did. What you're saying doesn't seem to check out. For example, hellow world not compiling seems like a significant issue and at first glance seems genuine even if there is some anti ai banter in the thread.
