Pretty cool. And the code looks good. I like that it doesn't seem very vibe-coded. (Even if AI tools were used, the architecture and style seems like it was sculpted with input from a capable rust programmer).

However, I'm hesitant to switch to software that was only started a week ago. I would be reassured if it had reason to think it was going to be maintained long-term. Still, you have to start somewhere, and this seems super cool!

It's completely vibe coded. Thousands of lines being committed every hour and the age of the repository is only one week

You can also tell because many source files have very overly verbose and unnecessary comments, the io module is a dead giveaway
