The super libraries focusing on providing highest consistencies across multiple supported programming languages and cross platform usability. These libraries were written from scratch with 3 solid purposes:
- Make sure cross-compilation across platforms and architectures can be done from anywhere to anywhere.
- Make sure the algorithm is the same across multiple programming languages.
- Make sure the libraries are decentralized, re-distributable, and its supply chain unaffected by geo-political shenanigans or a single business unit opression.
WHY HESTIA?
Like the mythology, I just want a peaceful library free from all the software industry's drama and friendly to others.
We rarely heard about Hestia (or Vesta) among the Olympus dramas but she's there taking care everyone, steadily, and quietly; making sure there's always a place to take rest and have warmth regardless who they are or what they are.

critical and foundational data structures for all other libraries. Among
them are:
- HestiaBOOLEANS - the bit-level boolean data type.
- HestiaFS - the filesystem control data type.
- HestiaLISTS - the common array and key-value list data type.
- HestiaNUMBERS - the real number data type.
- HestiaSIGNALS - the inter-process signals definitions.
- HestiaSTRINGS - the Unicode-based string data type.
- HestiaOS - the operating system control data type.
- HestiaUNICODES - the Unicode data type.
- HestiaLOCALES - the internationalization data type.
- HestiaAIS - the general AI data type.
- HestiaTOMLS - the TOML string encoding data type.
Here are some of my graphic & media projects using Open Source development pipelines as the production backbones:
- Logo - The proprietary
Chew, Kean Ho
natural trademark branding & identity representation as a registered business person & as personal individual. Deployment covers from steel stamping (monochrome) all the way video editing (motion media). - Soundtracks - Musics developed for applications & leisure enjoyments.
My legal documents and licenses deployed across all my ventures. These documents are updated to reflect the latest (as of 2025) economic changes best suited for both business and personal ventures.
Re-written from scratch, these documents use plain english for anyone to parse easily without a specialized lawyer (DISCLAIMER: I still high recommend you get one. You cannot skip it).
WHY PREFIX MY NAME?
For identification scoping and purposes only - I can't claim the generic wording like
permissive
worldwide solely just for me. By prefixing, I scope them down to my version of permissive. It makes the communication crips and clear.
