    The original discussion about the project (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49746163">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49746163) is very weird. Lots of call-outs about how the author is some sort of celebrity and random accounts vouching for him, with little discussion on the substance.

    Not even the demo on that release works well.

      The whole original conversation was very smelly from the very start, 20k stars included on the GitHub page with lost history.

        Yeah 100% those are purchased&#x2F;fake

        Lean4 itself has 9k

          I don’t they are purchased or fake.

          I can unequivocally claim that Victor receives at least two orders of magnitude more social media engagement, while Lean likely has 4-5 more magnitudes of actual users.

          Serious users of Lean simply have no need or reason to star the repository.
