Looks like it was created by Fabrice Bellard of tcc, ffmpeg, qemu, etc. fame. Does he read Hacker News comments?

I think Fabrice Bellard (ffmpeg, qemu, Bellard's formula, quickjs, tinygl, tinycc), could _already_ be considered the Han Solo of programmers.

This might be the programmer in question. Pretty impressive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI

Side note: this guy is Dominic Szablewski, author of the amazing ImpactJS, JSMpeg, QuakeVR. Probably a 10x developer. He rivals Fabrice Bellard of ffmpeg fame. Check out his site: https://phoboslab.org/

Wow, it's from Fabrice Bellard of QEMU and ffmpeg fame, excellent.

Fabrice Bellard: http://bellard.orgNotable: no social media, nothing like that. Just shows up occasionally with something that would take another dev probably a couple years to do.
