Unusual tones all around in the thread here. My initial observations before reading the comments here:
* "wow, OSS projects are starting to have some pretty wild landing pages, guess it's not just AI logos at the top of the README anymore"
* "wow, all in one commit. was it vibe-one-shotted, curated private work that was squashed, or something in between"
* "wow, Zig is kind easy to read although I really don't want to learn another language in 2026 although I already started learning some to use libghostty"
* "wow, is Zig really this much performant than Golang at the tails"
* "weird it uses Bazel, doesn't Zig have it's own build system like Golang"
* "so who is the author? I see they made an GitHub org for this. Are they going to keep doing stuff after the commit and should I keep this in my messaging queue neurons? Is this some company or person I should follow"
* "the README has a misalignment, do I PR that?"
* "oh cool, it lets you tune memory and the dispatcher"

I never thought of exactly how it manifested, except about the single commit. I have started "vibe coding" much more as the capabilities really improved in the last few months, so that isn't intrinsically a trash approach.
But the "who" and the "how" and the "why" do matter, in terms of whether one should look at it for education or infotainment or as a potential tool.
Disclosure of the intention and method would be courteous to the community when we create and share these things. Otherwise we'll all have high cognitive burden with the amount of projects we'll be seeing in 2026!

That’s fair, I should have framed it more clearly upfront. Thanks for the feedback.
I was excited about the results. The intent was to talk about performance and architecture, not to imply this was a quick or effortless project. There’s been a lot of iteration and experimentation behind it, and I should have communicated that context better as well as the use of AI for the help.

I totally get it and received the offering. =) Love seeing more use of io_uring too and interesting to see how that's done in Zig. Happy New Year: All the best on this and other projects.
