I can’t believe the author doesn’t allow conversion to JavaScript
It’s the most popular language for heavens sakes. Developers really need to stop bringing their religion into open source.
- transitivebs 3y agowould be cool to see a loop of: js ⇒ python ⇒ js and then compare the output JS w/ the input JS. could get wilder too like: js ⇒ rust ⇒ typescript ⇒ java ⇒ js

- tylercrompton 3y agoThat's a take.
- jahsome 3y agoDelusion and cognitive dissonance run deep for a large chunk of the JS world.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoI'd laugh, but LLMs actually made me begin to reconsider my dismissal of JavaScript and Python. They're still annoying, and the wider ecosystem is a disaster, but for the first time ever, I see personal value in working with the most popular tools: their popularity means that they're what LLMs work best with. So if I'm going to involve GPT-4 in some coding, I'm better off using JS or Python than asking for e.g. Lisp.
- fomine3 3y agoType helps LLM, so possibly TypeScript become the king for LLM era. I don't know.
- lionkor 3y agoThe interpreter and JIT for which are written in C++, so... Is C++ even more universal?
- valenterry 3y agoThen why is the tool not written in it?
- bilalq 3y ago??? The literal example shown in the README has targetlang set to nodejs. Maybe it's a bit odd to specify the runtime instead of the language, but in practice, that's maybe more useful.
