The slop you are talking about is the slop non-developers produce. I have been a developer for the past 20+ years. I know how to scale and stress-test an application. For instance (real data), my slop runs the exact same file at 240 FPS VS 45 on SketchUp.
There are good and bad slops.

The original idea was KetchUp (SketchUp) without subscription (S)

OP here. I will assume you never built anything in Rust. I didn't get the trend too until I started building stuff with it.
ChatGPT: Rust's biggest advantage is that it provides C/C++-level performance with much stronger memory safety guarantees, without requiring a garbage collector.

yeah, it didn't think much of it until I started seeing a lot of stars on Github.. I think I'll rename it Dovetail3D
