Yes I've noticed there's also this drive to implement and start talking about how it would write specific portions of code in response to design/trade off questions. I have to prompt Sol/Astra almost every time with a…
Plenty of easy configs for them too. Lazyvim has been pretty batteries included and easy to modify for me and I'm definitely the type that did not read much of the docs
Ngl it would be kinda fun for everyone to meme with each other on slop mode in slop threads
Just said something similar myself in another thread. I'm either writing things by hand (and using LLMs for research, or double checking an idea), or having an LLM spit out something I treat as an external dependency.…
If they could be cheap+fast and not try to do too much, that's a good spot for me. I don't use the smarter models as much because of cost and because they're still not good enough to let loose on a lot of problems. For…
Making lots of things and learning what works. It's good to read and find ideas to grow, but a volume of work is the most important thing. You'll discover a lot of the ideas on your own out of need. Keeping an eye out…
I am a FP nerd and I approve this message
If my program crashes without it, that's a semantic difference no?
I'm considering this for my language but it's a lot more complex to implement (especially with today's ecosystems) and I keep wondering if it's worth it.
I thought JS had a lot of Scheme inspiration?
Plot twist: the AI wins not through terminators but a kafka nightmare
Meanwhile I'm so proud that I'm keeping my hobby project under 10k lines and spend time trying to delete code for my own sanity
Personal anecdote: I spent a few days hacking on my compiler to remove 1k lines of code (about 15% of total code) while preserving behavior I was only able to do that after I had solved multiple related problems in…
Anecdotally I find them helpful for design and I don't find them nearly as helpful for coding (strange, given others experiences reported online) I am working on a compiler for an OCaml inspired language (I am on a…
This is the only way I've been able to get LLMs to produce code I will actually use. Manually selecting the context for them and asking for a specific piece or similar I started using harnesses because they are good for…
Bullshit lol
Reading this is nightmare fuel right before I go to bed omg
I never really tried out Cocoa. What did you like about it?
Scala and a few others use `[]` (the compiler itself is written in Scala)
Just curious, what made you choose GRIN? I haven't heard of it but it looks neat!
This level of generics actually has me interested a bit in Go now.
Yes, .NET had the benefit of coming second and using F#, which was originally essentially OCaml 4 on .NET, as it's testing grounds. Same for Async I am considering .NET for one of my compilers backends because of the…
I don't know why people keep acting like any kind of LLM skepticism or criticism is based on bristled fur or something. I am very skeptical of these workflows, but I also use LLMs regularly. I specifically use them…
I had a model yesterday suggest that I intern all float literals in my compiler to save on memory lmao
Exactly. I'm a huge FP fan. When someone doesn't like FP I don't lecture them on how they're holding it wrong. I usually assume that, unsurprisingly, the tool doesn't suit every problem or there may be a design issue in…
