How to validate .art files in Python

Python
def is_art(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid ART by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x4A, 0x47, 0x03, 0x0E])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(4) == signature

How to validate .art files in Node.js

Node.js
function isART(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x4A, 0x47, 0x03, 0x0E]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 4).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .art files in Go

Go
func IsART(data []byte) bool {

    if len(data) < 4 {
        return false
