A library written in pure nim for downloading YT videos. YT stands for "You're Turd!". Beat that RIIA!

1. youtube-dl replacement: libytdl is aimed to be a replacement for yt-dl . That's it. But why replace at all?
2. Dream big, start small: libytdl will for now start with only YT (You're Turd!) videos. Later it will move on to other domains!

2. fucking slow: Benchmarks with libytdl coming soon.
3. No C API: youtube-dl doesn't have a C API. It is possible to have one but that's not "good practice". Having a C API means a library being language/platform agnostic. Nobody can fuck with C. Nobody! (in Alex Jones! voice)
4. Its difficult to embed: Having a python based codebase means embedding will be difficult. At least relatively difficult with a C API. All languages have a C ABI.
5. Python 2 problem: youtube-dl supports python2 meaning that every part of the development process has to cater to the old python version at least for now. This won't be a problem for youtube-dl in future though.
6. Messy & old codebase: youtube-dl is a great project. but it has a lot of shit it carries with it. Go have a look yourself!
7. DMCA Shit: youtube-dl suffers from the problem of DMCA/RIIA shit. Although this has been good these days, but libytdl will make sure the DMCA terms and conditions. Fuck RIIA! Fuck DMCA!
8. Large executables: youtube-dl has to be used with a standalone python executable Since libytdl compiles down to native executable, the final executable sizes will obviously be smaller than the python version.

1. Fuck Rust.
2. Fuck Go.
3. Fuck C++.
4. Haskell? Lol!
5. JavaScript, Python, Lua, Ruby, PHP? 2xLOL!

No more questions!

Let me complete this library first!

Who isn't ?!
