Typescript's port to Go was done (or at least the vast majority of it was done) by hand, before AI porting was feasible.

In any case, AI is quite good at 1:1 porting these days. I wouldn't class the result as slop unless the input was slop or you did an especially bad job.

    I personally haven't looked at the port myself, but generally LLM/AI agents generate "slop" until a human expert reviews all of it. Which in most cases never happens. Instead they just review with another "higher tier" model.

    As someone on hacker news put it regarding a subject about using LLMs for everything:

    A decent proxy right now is that if you have zero external dependencies then your solution is probably a toy.

    This can be related because unless they are actually using the best libraries in the ecosystem while they are porting then it's going to be a mess to maintain and also alienates the ecosystem.
