  31                                         The UCW library aims to provide a set general purpose tools for programming
  32                                         in the C language. In other words, to make writing of complex and very efficient
  33                                         programs in plain C a pleasure.
  34                                 <p>
  35                                         It originated as a part of the <a href="/holmes/">Sherlock Holmes</a> search engine,
  36                                         but it is now developed separately.
  37                                         However, the primary development motivation is still to serve the needs of projects demanding
  38                                         both extreme speed and elegance.
