#4Lines of Code yes (GNU) 50 Yes-rs 1,302 (26x more) The cost benefit analysis on this will be interesting given this is 26X more code to manage, and could also introduce a whole new toolchain to build base.
yes-rs is a joke, not a serious project.

I'd recommend peeking at the single source file in the repo, lol

Until I actually went to read the code, I thought this was just a kinda lame overplayed joke, but the number of lines they listed made me really curious: how did they manage to beef up the SLOC that much? After reading a bit of the source code, I take it back. That's definitely venturing into the territory of art.

#7I feel like the safe equivalent of this is not to have it at all. You know when something FEELS wrong?
Like using selenium to automate a web task? Or like using javascript on the kernel? Or using C# on linux?
It just doesn't feel right to write an application whose mode of operation is unsafe (sending a string over IO) whose raison d'etre is unsafe (saying yes to everything without reading it), and to write it in a memory safe way.
It's like using a seatbelt when driving at 100mph, switching lanes in the highway, and drinking rum n coke(but with diet coke).

I agree that it's not a serious project, but I wouldn't call it a joke. Jokes are funny.

If you are looking for a non-joke implementation[0]. Excluding the test code at the bottom, the Rust version is a bit less than 120 lines.
