Im a bit out of the loop with this, but hope its not like that time with python 3.14, when it was claimed a geometric mean speedup of about 9-15% over the standard interpreter when built with Clang 19. It turned out the results were inflated due to a bug in LLVM 19 that prevented proper "tail duplication" optimization in the baseline interpreter's dispatch loop. Actual gains was aprox 4%.
Edit: Read through it and have come to the conclusion that the post is 100% OK and properly framed: He explicitly says his approach is to "sharing early and making a fool of myself," prioritizing transparency and rapid iteration over ironclad verification upfront.
One could make an argument that he should have cross-compiler checks, independent audits, or delayed announcements until results are bulletproof across all platforms. But given that he is 100% transparent with his thinking and how he works, it's all good in the hood.
