The issue tracker and pull requests are being hit with very funny suggestions. Many people suspect this is an April Fools joke. It's possible this entire repo was generated by a LLM to appear plausible.

I especially like the suggestions to rewrite the algorithm in Rust [1] and this pull request which simplifies the algorithm to a single c file [2].
