hmatuschek/libsdr

libsdr is a legacy project that serves more as a personal reference implementation than a viable production library. With only 37 stars and 8 forks accumulated over nearly 12 years, and zero current development velocity, it lacks any community momentum. The SDR ecosystem is currently dominated by high-traction projects like GNU Radio (for flowgraph-based design), Liquid-DSP (for lightweight C-based signal processing), and SoapySDR (for hardware abstraction). This project offers no unique technical moat or specialized hardware support that isn't significantly better addressed by these industry-standard tools. While frontier labs like OpenAI or Google have little interest in low-level DSP libraries, the project is already displaced by established open-source incumbents. From an investment or competitive standpoint, it represents a 'dead' asset with no path to defensibility or market relevance.
