This is a personal pursuit from what I can tell. I wouldn't use any opinion or judgment from this person to reach any conclusion about "the Zig community". This is just unnecessary.

If this person can stick to these goals and keep maintaining the project (which I do highly doubt), I don't see how this can possibly be a bad thing.

I don't see the irony? LLMs are much better at cleaning up a mess. Using LLMs not properly created that mess in the first place.
