Hi @rohanray - original submitter.

Apologies for submitting before the project was perhaps ready for a wider audience. I'm a boring Spring developer these days but enjoy reading about wider JVM developments and thought this was cool and worth sharing.

I think it's a shame that the HN audience's AI debates tend to derail more interesting technical conversations.

From my perspective, there are many valid reasons to use AI to bring a project to fruition, including speed, project scope, time constraints, etc. If AI helps bring to life projects that would otherwise remain daydreams, especially open-source ones, that's a win imo.

It's also far-fetched to assume someone clearly an engineer, building a project of such scope, working with low-level Java, integrating io_uring, and generating tests to ensure contracts, is a "vibe-coder" in the pejorative sense. It's unfortunate that some HN users resort to name-calling and gatekeeping, and I think some newer community rules and guidelines for AI-enhanced submissions would be helpful.

Anyway, keep coding and releasing!

Thanks @mands for you reply! I am glad you did post it and really thanks for it. However, I echo your thoughts too - I was expecting a constructive engagement re FFM & io-uring, etc. but unfortunately the entire thread digressed into AI & vibe coding etc.

I am definitely continuing to work on this.
