Is this article just an analysis of the Lost City[0] codebase without linking Lost City?

Hi, I'm the author - no it's not an analysis of the Lost City codebase (though I am a contributor to LC).

Most of the knowledge came from my refactor of the #317 RS2 client (https://github.com/Jameskmonger/317refactor) though I looked at some other decompiled versions while writing this blog post.

It is. Code snippets in the article are JavaScript as well, while only ever mentioning Java in the article
