I'm sure the MS plan is not just asking Claude "port this code to rust: ", but it's just fun to think it is :)

You don't know what the model is capable of until you try. Maybe today's models are not good enough. Try again next year.
I simply cannot come up with tasks the LLMs can't do, when running in agent mode, with a feedback loop available to them. Giving a clear goal, and giving the agent a way to measure it's progress towards that goal is incredibly powerful.
With the problem in the original article, I might have asked it to generate 100 test cases, and run them with the original Perl. Then I'd tell it, "ok, now port that to Typescript, make sure these test cases pass".
Funny to see this show up today since coincidentally I've had Claude code running for the past ~15 hours attempting to port MicroQuickJS to pure dependency-free Python, mainly as an experiment in how far a porting project can go but also because a sandboxed (memory constrained, to us time limits) JavaScript interpreter that runs in Python is something I really want to exist. I'm currently torn on whether to actually…

I am waiting for a llm entusiast to create something like MicroQuickJS from scratch.
Specially considering that the output would be essentially the same: a bunch of code that doesn't work.
While there's not a lot of meat on the bone for this post, one section of it reflects the overall problem with the idea of Claude-as-everything: > I spent weeks casually trying to replicate what took years to build. My inability to assess the complexity of the source material was matched by the inability of the models to understand what it was generating. When the trough of disillusionment hits, I anticipate this wil…

No point in responding to a troll, but for the other people who may be reading this comment chain, he's used LLMs for various tasks. Not to mention that he founded TextSynth, an entire service that revolves around them.
