Amazing project! But man, that README is just a textbook example of LLM word salad. It's wild how these tools are so incredibly capable at many things, but their writing sticks out like a sore thumb

Claude is much worse for having a distinctive style you can spot from a mile away. I’ve found GPT-6 to not suffer from this or it’s insanely verbose markdown salad.

When the lines in the ASCII charts don't even line up my immediate assumption is that the author didn't even bother to glance at it.

The percentage-overhead comparison is pretty choice nonsense. It has only percentages to try and "explain" that overheads don't matter if the system is slow anyhow.

A fair comparison would be this project vs virtio.

My bad, i am not a native English speaker... I did my best to try and brush it up. Terribly sorry if it did not match your flow.

it's not just literary authorship, it's pretty easy to spot LLM driven programming paradigms too, especially if you look at the test suites of a given package.
