libfooso2

libfooso2 is a cross-platform, open-source software library that provides a modular runtime and API surface intended to simplify building high-performance applications in systems languages. It emphasizes safe memory management, extensibility, and interoperability with other libraries.

The library offers a lightweight object system, reference counting, and a modular plugin framework. It includes core components for data structures, asynchronous I/O, and serialization. It exposes a stable C API and provides bindings for several programming languages, easing integration into diverse projects.

libfooso2 is the successor to libfooso1, with improvements in API stability, performance, and threading guarantees. The project prioritizes portability across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and aims to minimize platform-specific dependencies while maintaining predictable behavior.

Distribution is open source; the project provides source code and prebuilt binaries through public repositories and package managers. Documentation covers installation, API references, usage patterns, and migration notes from earlier versions.

Typical usage involves linking against libfooso2, initializing the runtime, and then creating objects or submitting asynchronous tasks. The library has seen adoption in research software and embedded tooling, with ongoing community contributions and development.
