...Instead of trusting ad-hoc C, Wuffs code is compiled to C with strong bounds, integer, and state checks inserted by construction, aiming to eliminate whole classes of security bugs without a heavy runtime. The design prioritizes predictable performance: decoders avoid dynamic allocation by default, return explicit “short read” signals, and run well in streaming or sandbox-free environments. The project ships battle-tested, CPU-friendly implementations for common image/container formats and bit-twiddly primitives like Huffman and checksum routines. Its standard library emphasizes portability and constant-time behavior where appropriate, which is valuable in security-sensitive contexts. Because the language is purpose-built, the resulting C output is small, auditable, and easy to embed in larger systems.
