The core is real, the rest of the narrative nudging LLMs to behave :). If you remove the noise and just run the benchmark that's proof enough.

The interesting bit was that the bindings overheads dominate, and makes this shim not that much of a performance bump.

Commit history has 5 commits, 3 of them are 1day ago, and all of them add +1000 lines.

Definitely looks like it.

Well i would counter that by saying most code has been autocompleted for a while. At this point in software development history, discussing the size of commits is a null discussion :).
