Comment on Idiomatic Koru Kernels Match Hand-Specialized C

From the main page: "The Hyper-Performant AI-First Postmodern Zero-Cost Fractal Metacircular Phantom-Typed Auto-Disposing Monadic Event Continuation Language with Semantic Space Lifting and Event Taps" - not sure if this is a joke or not

Hi! I am the owner of this project. It is not a joke; the tagline is meant to make it hard to ignore. The project is highly AI-driven, and that will put a lot of people off. I have decades of "pre AI" professional coding experience if that counts for anything.

The high-perf kernel is just a tiny thing compared to what's coming, we actually already have more interesting features than just high-perf in the language. Small side-effect of being highly metacircular.

If you come join us on Discord, I'll be lazily streaming on Twitch tonight (working mostly on a memory system, I think) and will be happy to answer any Koru-related questions.

It seems like it's not a joke. There's clearly been a lot of effort put into it, and they're clearly trying to prove it with hard evidence rather than making outrageous claims with no backing. I'm still skeptical, but the effort at least looks genuine.
