Fascinating. I've written cross platform (WASM, iOS, Android) libraries with Rust before and had a good time but Rust can be a pain too. Cross-platform Typescript is a really interesting proposition.
That said, the more I think about it the more dubious I am. The site boasts no runtime dependencies but clearly it’s going to need things like a garbage collector, you can’t just magic that requirement away. At a certain point is it just doing what a JS engine’s JIT compilation does… except ahead of time?
Also doesn't inspire confidence that the text on the site is very clearly AI generated and the GitHub log shows an endless stream of AI powered commits. About 15 per hour, every hour? Doesn’t scream stability.
tbf Rust also can spit out pretty big binaries for small programs
Agreed. You can optimize things a fair amount with the Rust compiler, at least.
how do one tell when text is ai generated - honest question. What are the tell tale signs?
Not X, not Y, just Z.
The whole site is very jarring to read.
vibrant colours that don't match
X. Y. SUPER Z. heading
X. Y. SUPER Z. in subheading
excessive purple and gradients
--> arrows
cards, cards, cards, cards
doesn't just X, emdash, it [SUPER Y]
more cards
ridiculous awful contrast in copy that makes things unreadable (grey on black etc)
In regards to the site, all of them follow almost the same templates.
Once you see a few, it becomes obvious
I use this website, https://tropes.fyi/vetter, it apparently detectes Perry as pure ai slop website.
There is also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing
