If you're sure that's all you wanted out of it. If this were more a path-vs-destination kind of project for you, you might have gotten deep insights about programming language design and implementation over those years which the efficient route deprives you of.
- williamcotton 9mo agoThanks for your perspective and taking the time to lecture me!
- kranner 9mo agoI did miss the sarcasm you pointed out in the separate mail to me (I should have paid more attention to the word "otherwise", I guess). I did not mean to lecture at you at all. I thought it was something you built very quickly with LLMs, but clearly this was a passion project, whether or not you used LLMs. My apologies.
- williamcotton 9mo agoIt's OK, I was being overly sensitive based on the other comment in this thread. In fact, I do value the journey over the destination and it is helpful to be reminded of this. I've updated the project's README to make this explicit!
