These ports are borrowing large parts of the architecture, algorithms, and data structures from the official implementation.

I don't think a spec would facilitate them at such a low effort level and cost.

Because at the end of the day, someone has to actually care and put in effort, even if the thing is machine generated, because it can go off the rails.

Because its impossible to stay motivated working on non trivial project when AI is running the show. Its the last thing Id want to do, its soul sucking and the code is terrible. Remember these guys have poured years of actual work, not slop into tsgo. You sloppers wouldnt understand that.
