Someone read "Assembly is the fastest language" on a forum and decided to rewrite their entire codebase in Assembly for "better performance." The PR shows 3000+ files changed with +17k additions and -1.8k deletions.
The author casually mentions they "apologize for the large diff" and that "GitHub seems to be lagging" while also noting some files were "deleted, but those were just the high-level files we don't need anymore." You know, just the entire application written in a reasonable language.
This is what happens when you take micro-optimization advice from internet forums without considering that maybe, just maybe, there's a reason why modern software isn't written entirely in Assembly. Sure, it's fast. So is a motorcycle without brakes.
The best part? They're "looking forward to your feedback" so they can get started on their next task. Can't wait to see what that'll be—rewriting the OS kernel in machine code?
