I would say you're right in that with succinctness comes constraint. And the constraint is really the point, not the brevity. It's small because it can't do arbitrary things, which is exactly what lets you read one and approv

It makes sense. I think my response skewed things a bit. The worker can not run wild for exactly the reasons you state. Constraints of the language and the workflow are easy for a human to understand (especially a non-programmer human). I e

Oh wow. Talking about going above and beyond! Thanks for this. I'll use it as a template for sure. You might have guessed, first time building in public per se. Everything else I do is pretty much for clients and C/C++ work.

I really appreciate the comments and the encouragement. "How <is> this better than just using any other script language?" I wanted to make the language something built for a machine to write and a human to approve with a nar

Thanks. I'm guessing since the docs are mintlify hosted, the CDN assets might be being blocked. I'll look and see if adding a domain sidesteps it.

I think part of the point here is that agents need to be managed. People need to learn how to manage them and be given the tools to do so. Those tools and knowledge should not come from nor be gate kept by the 'clergy' to use the
