Zig had a breaking change half year ago and since then ZLS only works for std and local code, not for any deps. Zig is nice language but dev experience is a real nightmare at the moment. I say that as maintainer of three non-trivial librari

I think the point was that even Bash is interpreted.

Can't edit now but somehow I forgot to mention LISP/Clojure - I think it might be very interesting choice for LLMs because of the macro system and overall expresiveness. Also, Clojure specifically is mem-safe because of the host V

I will leave this prediction here and maybe come back in few years: 1. JS is mem-safe, single-threaded, and there are lots of training data. Easily my first choice. I'd put Python here as well, although I don't like it personally.

no, it's just clickbait. - Rust is huge, many options, many programming styles - typical Rust project has lots of transitive dependencies - there is nothing in Rust that disallows using system libraries or linking to them - it's n

"single binary, no dependencies besides crypto" would be an advantage, "written in Rust" tells nothing, except (successfully) trying to clickbait

Jordan Keller worked at Moonshot? Or am I missing something? I thought he is the original author. https://x.com/kellerjordan0/status/1842300916864844014

I am working on a TUI framework for tokamak https://github.com/cztomsik/tokamak so I can then use it for my local agent harness. The currently separate PoC now lives in codeberg https://codeberg.org/czt

I hope you are kidding, how is that a test of any capabilities? it's a miracle that any model can learn strawberry because it cannot see the actual characters and ALSO, it's likely misspelled a lot in the corpus. I've been pl

I see that you did the NAPI bridging yourself - not that there's anything wrong with that but you might be interested in this tiny lib I wrote some time ago https://github.com/cztomsik/napigen

Only few isolated parts were integrated into Firefox, everything else was simply thrown away and abandoned, and IMO it was for a good reason. I've been programming in Rust for 5 years and I could barely understand the code in their rep

interesting how things like these were top stories just few years ago (and they are still the kind of content which I enjoy reading about) and now nobody upvotes anymore (this was submitted 3 times, different people, <10 votes; 1-2 comme

I'm following Owain Evans on X and some of the papers they've been sharing are much worse. IIRC there was something with fine-tuning a LLM to be bad actor, then letting it spit out some text, and if that response was copy-pasted i

And I thought that I'm the only one saying that. I bought my first mac just because of that, it was rock-solid, it was unix, and it came with ruby/python/xxx preinstalled so that I could just worry about doing the work. But f

React is not simple (preact is) and what's worse, it gets more and more overengineered in order to solve the problems they have themselves created (accidental complexity in your video). Sadly, accidental complexity is a common theme am

I guess there are different levels of meta-programming. You can go really far in Rust/C++ too but I think Zig is really unique that you can write a function, which takes a type, it does some imperative mumbo-jumbo and spits out another

I don't have enough experience with CPP and/or Clang but Zig compiles its whole build system and stdlib specifically for each project, so in that light I think the Zig compiler is quite fast.

The situation has improved a little bit over the last few months but LLMs are still only barely usable in languages like C/C++/Zig - and it's not about prompting. I would say that LLMs are usable for JS/Python and while

I don't know, I have mixed-bag experiences and it's not really improving. It greatly varies depending on the programming language and the kind of problem which I'm trying to solve. The tasks where it works great are things I&
