Proper code review takes as long as writing the damn thing in the first place and is infinitely more boring. And you still miss things that would have been obvious while writing.
In this special case, you'd have to reverse engineer the grammar from the parser, calculate first/follow sets and then see if the grammar even is what you intended it to be.
- skeledrew 11mo agoAuthor did review the (also generated) tests, which as long as they're comprehensive enough for his purposes, all pass and coverage is very high, means things work well enough. Attempting to manually edit that code is a whole other thing though.
- auggierose 11mo agoThat argument might work for certain kinds of applications (none I'd like to use, though), but for a programming language, nope. I am using LLMs to speed up coding as well, but you have to be super vigilant, and do it in a very modular way.

- skeledrew 11mo agoThey literally just made it to do AoC challenges, and shared it for fun (and publicity).
- auggierose 11mo agoI don't think that contradicts my comment in any way. It's not a programming language then, it is a fun language.
