#2Very cool project! Love the idea of a Java decompiler written in C — the speed must be great.
Any plan to support `.dex` in the future? Also curious how you handle inner classes inside JARs.

#3By hand or with AI? Fascinating. So much work! What was your motivation for this?

The readme shows support for dumping dex files. Edit: missed that it has a comment that stays "unsupport for now" but at least it looks like something planned

Irrelevant to me. People would never ask whether someone has created something looking at SO or not. If the thing works as advertised, good for them!

To some people the process leading to a finished project is the most interesting thing about posts like these.

LLMs can explain the process, and you can build projects with LLMs explaining the process.

LLMs can attempt to explain the code, but it can't explain people's thought process and that's the interesting part.
I want to hear about the reverse engineering, how you thought the code through. LLMs are boring.
