Seems people read the blog but not the code, I looked at the stated rewrite of Numpy in Rust:

That's not a rewrite at all it's just a wrapping of an existing linear algebra Rust library (faer, blas, etc..) with a more Numpy like API. It seems to me that every AI project I look at is just a mashup/wrapper over existing things. Where are the real bootstrapped new things with AI ? Is there any big OSS project (Linux kernel, postgresql, Django, whatever) with serious bugfixes or new features implemented by AI that we could look at ?

Are so much people in programming implementing middleware / wrapping existing API all day that it gives them a feeling of liberation to be able to delegate those tasks ?
