The website is obviously and gratingly LLM-voiced. I don't know how people aren't tired of paragraphs like this yet:

"Visual FoxPro is a 32-bit program, and that decides more than it appears to. It is why a table stops at two gigabytes, why a memo file stops at two gigabytes, and why a big report runs out of memory on a machine with plenty to spare. The limits are signed 32-bit numbers buried in the file handling, not a licensing decision anybody made."

and

"The editor checks what you type through that very compiler, so what it underlines and what the runtime refuses cannot drift apart."

Like, what? Who talks like that?

To me, this is not worse than any Apple marketing page from the last 15 years written by human marketing people.

Right, yes, this sort of style certainly can be produced by writers, especially ones who are working in a particular corporate universe. That's where LLMs got it from! It just sucks that everyone "writes" like that now. Every new one-person project or company is incongruously spouting corporatese. Don't we get enough of that already? Flattening everything into American corpo-speak sucks.

Okay but why should one expect a marketing site, which this is, to have quality prose instead of typical marketing prose, which it does.

Robots (by default).

Take the time to ask for anything else.
