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

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.

[-] expr@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

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.
