That's what I was thinking too. It looks like someone just reinvented tar, and given how it's a JavaScript thing I'm wondering if it's a zoomer who didn't know tar existed and the HN crowd would set them straight. But then I come into the comments here and people are posting about how absolutely brilliant it is, so surely I'm missing something… right?
