We chose the name as a reference or throwback, of course, to <stdlib.h>. We’re <stdlib.com>, and we allow developers to utilize serverless technology to make shipping custom logic (functions) simple and create a Standard Library of APIs within their organization or contribute to a public library.

From the inception of the product we knew we were building a library - well, a publishing and hosting platform combined - but really, a library of APIs. The very first name we came up with was “stdlib” and, through a stroke of fate, “stdlib.com” was available.

We don’t take the name lightly. We understand we stand on the shoulders of giants, and it is our responsibility to create the best “stdlib.com” we can. It motivates and inspires our team members. That is why we chose the name.

It’s unfortunate you have a problem with this, but we’re very thankful to our developer community, team, partners and our investors for their support. :)
