    TypeScript team member here - this is impressive work, and it's honestly crazy that 3 of these ports have popped up in the last week! I'm currently AFK but we're hoping to learn more and we'll have more to say on this soon.

      Kudos for keeping up! Golang seemed like a very reasonable choice when you ported there originally but the world is changing _fast_.

    I'm curious how much unsafe this uses? Are these ports making idiomatic code or just using unsafe all over. There doesn't seem to be anything in the readme.

    I really appreciate this convention, thank you.

    Wait - you spent north of $400,000?

      Most of it was wasted on OpenAI tokens. It actually cost them $24k USD according to the github description.

      Sibling dead comment said it already but that's likely an estimate of what it would cost via API and in practice it was a few hundred or thousand dollars of subscription fees.

      $420,000 worth of tokens, though I'm pretty sure he used subs.

      i'd bet this is a few subscriptions over a few months rather than paying directly for tokens.
