The article did nothing of the sort: https://x.com/dhh/status/2081435971678261344 However, even if it did, it is absurd for an AI to decide what it will and won't translate.

I mean if you're going to be that pedantic, then Clojure is "native" since all Clojure functions "compile to machine code" via the JVM's JIT.

You can directly call C++ as C++ , not via a C ABI.

Since Java 25/Project Panama, I have that kind of relationship with C from Clojure as well. Codex can one shot the bindings flawlessly, and the interface is significantly faster for downcalls vs. JNI.

Whatever the group owner picks, same as it's always been. No one cares about the actual choice, only that it is made.

I think the key is to get two LLMs looking at the same problem. I use Codex because it's better at the kind of code I need written (math-heavy, 3D geometry code). But if I was doing mainly UI code, I would do the opposite.

The arguments presented to a macro don't have to be valid code. Your "function evaluating functions" are all individually valid functions you've composed at runtime. (defmacro foo [code] ,,,) (foo "<som

I use Claude for planning, writing CRs, and code review. Codex writes all of the code, no exceptions. Works great, especially when you ask Claude to break up large CRs into roughly 10 minutes of Codex work each.

That's the approach I've taken with a bunch of legacy OpenCL code I've mechnically translated to Metal, worked great.

Even at $165K, it's worth it to have a better base to build on top of—especially since it didn't take a year's worth of time for three programmers.

It took about two weeks for me to be able to read it. Might as well have been Russian. Now it's as natural as any other language.

It's 100% opt-in at the call site and doesn't affect existing code, so no? Many people (including myself) already have checked key variants for maps; this mainly extends the syntax to destructuring too.

If you are skilled in the field already, yes. Though it's not just "ask" in the one-shot prompt sense, but more in the "over the course of a few days" sense.

> The only time I ever really found that GA was actually a benefit to me was performing rotations. Maybe that's why I've found it so useful when doing rigging for animation—that's the entire job!

Personally, I've got a line of mileage out of using GA to express animation rigs. I don't know about the rest of the article—I'm not a mathematician—but I certainly enjoying using GA a lot more compared to linear algebra, I f

If it was that easy, I wouldn't have commented. It's not, which is why it would be nice if they did the actual work (on your hardware). I would 100% pay $16/hr to run a self-hosted instance, but I won't spend thousands o
