just saw Jai and immediately the vibes are off
why is this so hyped? help me understand

Honestly, it might just not be your vibe—and that’s okay! A lot of the hype around Jai probably comes from its promise to streamline systems programming with modern features and better performance compared to older languages like C. It's marketed as being simpler and faster, which excites devs looking for efficiency.

That said, hype often sets expectations unrealistically high. If it doesn’t click for you, it’s worth digging into the specifics—maybe it solves problems you don’t personally face. Or it’s just not for you, and that’s valid too!
