Is anyone else put off by the AI-sounding text? Two things that give it away for me are the excessive use of punctuation-emphasized sentence fragments ex:

> No clicking. No undo. Just recompile.

> That's our mascot. Entirely CSG.

> No garbage collection pauses. No floating point surprises from a scripting layer.

And worst of all, the dreaded "and/but honestly":

> But honestly, the main reason is the toolchain.

Hard pass.

Yeah I hate it. Why should I read something you didn't bother to write?
