It's done, the language is complete.
Issues piling up, Im not sure.. the compiler has only 4 unresolved issues in 2025...
Looking at the github.. they don't seem to be piling up that much.
Sometimes a programming language is well written and its done, no need to actively work on it.
humans aren’t reading code, so no need for it, ai can write everything in ASM & C, keep everything fast and economical.
In other environments (most startups founded in the last six months) no human is ever reading any of the code. It’s kinda terrifying but I think it’s where we are going. And here I would argue having strict compilers is way more important.
This is a great plan; I would encourage everyone using AI to follow this strategy. The resulting smoking craters will have many job opportunities for human-written code that works.
Unfortunately, there will be more tokens and context wasted as the LLM struggles with appeasing the compiler.
Example: say a function had two string view args which are bound to a single lifetime because both args at call site had the same scope. Now you have another call site where the args have different scope. Whoops, let me fix that, blah blah.
Javascript would like a word
There is a reason why it is used nowadays as the first language in schools.
