isn't this more like a port of `html5ever` from rust to python using LLM, as opposed to creating something "new" based on the test suite alone?
if yes, wouldn't be the distinction rather important?
The first iteration of the project created a library from scratch, from the tests all the way to 100% test coverage. So even without the second iteration, it's still possible to create something new.
In an attempt to speed it up, I (with coding agent) rewrote it again based on html5ever's code structure. It's far from a clean port, because it's heavily optimized Rust code, that isn't possible to port to Python (Rust marcos). And it still depended on a lot of iteration and rerunning tests to get it anywhere.
I'm not pushing any agenda here, you're free to take what you want from it!
You also mention that the current "optimised" version is "good enough" for every-day use (I use `bs4` for working with html), was the first iteration also usable in that way? Did you look at `html5ever` because the LLM hit a wall trying to speed it up?
As for bs4, if you don't change the default, you get the stdlib html.parser, which doesn't implement html5. Only works for valid HTML.
