Well well, vibe-coded document reader for emacs just dropped: github.com/emacs-taf/etaf-read

I made the prediction to @divyaranjan in private. I guess from February to October counts as "few months".

#emacs

tusharhero @tusharhero@mathstodon.xyz @divyaranjan Just doing it here so that it is believable that I actually predicted this. So, I predict in the next few months there is going to be a vibe coded alternative to emacs-reader. Either as a fork, or as new project. It will probably be written in Rust. And it will have a stupidly large code base. Feb 27, 2026, 01:07 PM Private mention Divya Ranjan Pattanaik :hilbert: @divyaranjan Feb 27 @tusharhero And we will have a comic line for it in our README, how we do better while being simple.
