I love AI adding stuff like "in my experience" in a vain attempt to mask the fact it's bot written, as if this is what is missing

Well, in case you want to read the actual article about CheerpJ 5.0 [written with my own hands :-)], you can go at the source.
Learning Technologies makes some interesting WASM powered software, I'm glad to see people are making a living working on this.
Your article was much better, but I do wish the linked deep dive on CheerpJ was a bit meatier, it's more of an overview. A deeper dive about the trade offs of the implementation and other challenges you faced getting the JIT working inside WASM would certainly do well here.
""" This is a site designed to serve as a center for information - and by "center," we mean center. ByteCode.News is a site fed from discord, slack, IRC, and here on the web, meaning to present a common information graph and a common set of services. """
From my quick skimming of the site it just looks like hundreds of AI articles. More than likely it's just an AI bot that generates articles after some threshold of engagement is reached on "discord, slack, IRC".
There are lots of Ads that are posted as if they are articles for example: https://bytecode.news/posts/2026/10/cheerpj-5-launches-java-...
The article itself is just an extremely odd hit piece against Zig, I'd even be guess this is a form of "rage/engagement bait".
