What's the actual accomplishment here? It seems like the language came into existence a month ago and was written mostly by Claude. If self hosting is a matter of asking Claude to do it and it takes a couple weeks, is it really an accomplishment at all?
- troosevelt 7mo agoYes, somebody has to actually do it, and they did.
- onlyrealcuzzo 7mo agoAnything + Go's runtime is a reasonable language. Go's runtime is one of the greatest pieces of software ever built. Assuming this works - which self-hosting guarantees a minimum level of "working" - this is useful! I didn't want to rely on the unpredictability of a garbage collector, so I chose to build my own runtime, but it's not going to be as good as Go any time soon.
