That sounds like step 2 before step 1. First you get complains that login in doesn’t work, then you find out it’s the + sign while you are debugging.
I was going to try and resist posting for as long as possible in 2026 (self dare) and here I am on day 1 -- this is a pretty bad idea. are you going to trust the llm to write software you depend on with your life? your money? your whatever? worst idea so far of 2026. wheres the accountability when things go wrong?
Feels like a dead end optimisation ala the bitter lesson. No LLM has seen enough of this language vs. python and context is now going to be mostly wordy not codey (e.g. docs, specs etc.)
I suspect this is wrong. If you are correct, that implies to me that LLMs are not intelligent and just are exceptionally well tuned to echo back their training data. It makes no sense to me that a superior intelligence would be unable to trivially learn a new language syntax and apply its semantic knowledge to the new syntax. So I believe that either LLMs will improve to the point that they will easily pick up a new…
Creator here. This started as a dumb question while using Claude Code: "Why is Claude writing TypeScript I'm supposed to read?" 40% of code is now machine-written. That number's only going up. So I spent some weekends asking: what would an intermediate language look like if we stopped pretending humans are the authors? NERD is the experiment. Bootstrap compiler works, compiles to native via LLVM. It's rough, probably…

> "Why is Claude writing TypeScript I'm supposed to read?" 40% of code is now machine-written. That number's only going up. How much of the code is read by humans, though? I think using languages that LLMs work well with, like TS or Python, makes a lot of sense but the chosen language still needs to be readable by humans.
I've never had a good result. Just tons of silent bugs that are obvious those experienced with Python, JS/TS, etc. and subtle to everyone else.

What about something like clojure? It’s already pretty succinct and Claude knows it quite well.
Plus there are heavily documented libraries that it knows how to use and are in its training data.
