Thanks to LLMs I see a FOSS renaissance lately.
These dudes in getartcraft.com recreated Adobe and Microsoft Office in Rust. What additionally fascinates me isn't even the fact that they recreated it, but the fact that this software is planned from day 0 to be used by both a human AND a machine (AI agent), and is developed with this in mind.
Yes, these apps are still buggy, but hey, they are in active development, they're just in the alpha version. Chill, keep them cooking, and let's see how they work in a few months or a year.
Closed source is officially dead btw 💀
