Keyword swapped go, does not a new language make.

  classic gen Z, tho... all glitz and 0 effort.

    "classic Gen Z"? Generational wars are so stupid and so old that Ancient Sumerians complained about the youth on stone tablets... I wonder what future generations will use to complain about their descendants...

This language is not interesting for what it is, but how it was made. Apparently the guy put this Claude into a loop for 3 months [1] and this popped out. This made him one of the most prolific users of Claude, using tokens at a ate of up almost half a million dollars in a matter of days [2]. This caused considerable churn on the repo: 1,196 commits 12,001,326 ++ 8,639,553 -- ~1000 commits over a 3 month period netting 3.4 million lines. The git history alone is over 400MB after just that short period of time. Go's is smaller. What's the codebase look like? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language Files Lines Blank Comment Code -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JavaScript 1444 1243716 25330 750735 467651 Markdown 981 294632 49397 0 245235 Zig 380 226254 36039 21445 168770 TypeScript 807 172719 7893 95437 69389 JSON 196 47506 6 0 47500 HTML 448 38447 227 8 38212 Plain Text 44 29594 1481 0 28113 YAML 5 2344 228 167 1949 Python 5 2151 375 130 1646 Toml 30 1917 315 328 1274 C 9 107169 156 106074 939 C/C++ Header 6 961 134 96 731 CSS 3 809 121 19 669 VimL 4 775 102 98 575 Lua 2 471 60 34 377 XML 1 359 69 28 262 Lisp 5 303 36 36 231 Typescript JSX 1 497 63 253 181 Ruby 1 244 49 32 163 PowerShell 2 207 28 19 160 Makefile 1 213 35 24 154 PHP 1 156 13 19 124 Docker 1 211 42 54 115 Bourne Shell 6 136 33 15 88 Kotlin 1 78 13 0 65 Protobuf 1 30 7 2 21 Batch 3 15 0 9 6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 4388 2171914 122252 975062 1074600 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wat? Like the another comment said, the language is essentially Go with the keywords changed. You could get a better result just by forking the Go repo and changing the keywords, rather than spending millions of credits and months on LLM churn, which results in a completely unmaintainable codebase of unknown quality. Anyway, the results are bad. The language is what it is, I can't judge it because I don't think it's trying to be anything more than a joke. But the process is just... awful, and I don't think letting the LLM just churn is a model for sustainable language development.
