This looks interesting. It's very new, so it will likely be a while before any OS would adopt it, but it definitely shows promise of a possible alternative to grub down the road

Looking at the GitHub repo it seems like the first commit was actually just 2 weeks ago and contained 12k lines. I can't spot any AGENT.md files, but it does feel like the author quite new to this. That could be explained by them being 16 though like they say on their profile.

    The comment deleted in this commit reads kinda claude code to me tbh.

    Haven't used Claude code myself, so I wouldn't know, but a commit to delete only a comment is indeed pretty weird, also most of the commit messages are the GitHub default like "Update gui.h" which is also a bit odd.

    Ah I meant the comment itself read like that.

    Especially the super strict line lengths. Claude Code does that, sometimes it seems like it has a strict 80 or whatever character limit per comment line

    I personally format all comments to 80 (using vim's gw command) and never touch LLMs.

    Why 80? It feels so restricted to have that short line.

    Because long lines are bad for splits and/or vertical monitors. You don't know the viewport the code will be read in, so keeping to a conservative width is helpful. If things wrap or require scrolling, that's a lot worse for legibility, whereas having lines limited to 80 has minimal impact on legibility.
