Parametric CAD in Rust

Re:Parametric CAD in Rust by jas8425 on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @05:12PM (#46787778)

Is anyone else put off by the AI-sounding text? Two things that give it away for me are the excessive use of punctuation-emphasized sentence fragments ex:

> No clicking. No undo. Just recompile.

> That's our mascot. Entirely CSG.

> No garbage collection pauses. No floating point surprises from a scripting layer.

And worst of all, the dreaded "and/but honestly":

> But honestly, the main reason is the toolchain.

Am I misreading things?

Yeah I hate it. Why should I read something you didn't bother to write?

Probably not.

There's also this at the bottom.

CLAUDE.md in the repo and "Co-Authored by Claude" on all the commits too.

Hard pass.
