i see, but my statement does not become false because of it. his agent pushes several commits an hour in a continuous loop, meaning this respected developer is not involved in the process at all.
I briefly worked with him personally. He is 1. a perfectionist and 2. equipped with the intellectual and programming firepower to not get stuck in the resulting paralysis that a lot of people get stuck in but blast through tasks that should be impossible to do at all, let alone with a high degree of quality, successfully, through sheer intellectual firepower. The end result is that he is well known for already having not just one incredible Haskell library, but a number of them.
I can promise you he will not produce and release "slop". He would be an order of magnitude more offended at the idea than you are, I'd imagine.
in that case it is truly amazing, because I have never seen anyone even with current ai capable of being so productive and truly understanding what they are putting out.
Ed Kmett is one of the smartest people I have ever met in my life. He is quite literally built different.
He completed undergrad and graduate programs in math, computer science, and a special program in ai all simultaneously in 3 years. I believe he was finishing programs before his scholarships could kick in.

i am not sure anyone actually understands what is going on under the hood of the project. looks like average slop.
>> Exactly a week ago (as a joke), I started writing THC,
you? i hope you have read at least something of what your agent wrote about the project.
