So I was interested to dig more into this..., but I wasn't able to find any other source that talked about this. Furthermore, while some digging suggests that the author is a real person, the text didn't score well on https://undetectable.ai/ . Do with that whatever you will*

FWIW, trying to install it within a distrobox container gave the following error:

error: target not found: rye-init

Which, AFAIK, suggests that the package is not found in the repo. Nor does going through https://archlinux.org/packages/ yield any results. At this point, my best best would be to spin up a VM and see if that makes a difference. But I'm not really in the mood at the moment.

Regardless, has somebody checked the package out for themselves? Or, have they seen discussions on it elsewhere?

Blast. This sounded like really positive news, linux as an ecosystem desperately needs to revisit its init process choices, but there really doesn't seem to be any hint of it elsewhere. There is a rye that's written in rust and which has an init command rye init. I wonder if it's a case of an LLM latching on to that and just making up the rest?
