way easier to work on a focussed c codebase you own than a mature unwieldy c++ codebase you don't. but it's fine, people will take that work and port to llamacpp and everyone wins.

(the ux of ds4 is fantastic too -- it's dead-easy to get a known-good model, great quant. llamacpp you're much more hacking in the wilderness, w/ many many knobs.)
