@nprofile1q... well, a second go

@nprofile1q... I really, really need to give OCaml a go one of these days

@nprofile1q... To be totally honest, I would've liked if we answered these questions with "LLMs" replaced with "humans" but there was never any money in that 😅

@nprofile1q... I just found myself thinking about this again, but from a new angle, and my new take is: How to design programming languages for LLMs specifically.

Namely, I'd seek to answer these questions:
- How can the design of a language encourage LLMs to write logically correct code?
- ... performant code?
- ... secure code?

As a bit of an extreme example, I'd posit that vibecoding a C project would produce code with memory leaks and buffer overflow bugs. What should it use instead?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Good(?) news! They're all real.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I do, but that doesn't mean you have to 😁 I usually watch over Claude's shoulder to make sure it's not wasting time (or tokens!) being confused or chasing red herrings (which it has a propensity to do). Or, alternately, steering it away from choosing an inadvisable architecture.

But, if code quality, time, and token consumption are not your priorities, I figure you could run as many Claude instances as your Anthropic account will allow for.

@nprofile1q... In my experience, using Claude Code does not induce flow. The cycle is more a minute or two of writing a prompt and ~10m of staring out the window waiting for it to finish.

@nprofile1q... With Elixir or Erlang you can connect a REPL to a running server, so we have a culture of doing that (either locally or against deployed environments) for debugging or experimenation. Also my company has canned scripts for connected REPLs that e.g. create mock data.

@nprofile1q... Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I feel like the key selling point of OpenClaw is that it's not a service. e.g. OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT Agent last year which is (AFAIK) basically hosted OpenClaw and nobody used it.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I have waited 11+hrs in an American ER on multiple occasions.

@nprofile1q... My experience with Haskell tooling on NixOS has been a nightmare. I have things in a precarious working state and am afraid to touch any of it.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... After Gas Town, I now assume anything that at first appears to be parody is in fact serious.
