I've gotten Claude Code to port Ruby 3.4.7 to Cosmopolitan: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan I kid you not. Took between a week and ten days. Cost about €10 . After that I became a firm convert. I'm still getting my head around how incredible that is. I tell friends and family and they're like "ok, so?"

It seems like AIs work how non-programmers already thought computers worked.

  That's apt. One of the first thing you learn in CS 101 is "computers are impeccable at math and logic but have zero common sense, and can easily understand megabytes of code but not two sentences of instructions in plain English." LLMs break that old fundamental assumption. How people can claim that it's not a ground-shattering breakthrough is beyond me.

    Then build a LLM shell and make it your login shell. And you’ll see how well the computer understands english.

I am incredibly curious how you did that. You just told it... Port ruby to cosmopolitan and let it crank out for a week? Or what did you do? I'll use these tools, and at times they give good results. But I would not trust it to work that much on a problem by itself.

      Calling people out is extremely satisfying.

        You wouldn't know anything about it considering you've been wrong in all your accusations and predictions. Glad to see no-one takes you seriously anymore.

  unzipped Ruby 3.4.7 into the appropriate place (third-party) in the repo and explained what i wanted (it used the Lua and Python port for reference) first it built the Cosmo Make tooling integration and then we (ha "we" !) started iterating and iterating compiling Ruby with the Cosmo compiler … every time we hit some snag Claude Code would figure it out I would have completed it sooner but I kept hitting the 5 hourly session token limits on my Pro account https://github.com/igravious/cosmoruby https://github.com/igravious/cosmoruby

This seems cool! Can you share the link to the repository?
