I ran Claude in a loop for 3 months, and it created a genz programming language

Funny. Could be a new benchmark for LLM productivity. How long does it take an average engineer to create a joke language like that? I guess it’s below 3 months.

Well, actually, the funny story is Cursed is actually three different compilers:

1. It was first written in C

2. Then it was rewritten in Rust

3. Finally, it was rewritten in Zig

All part of research, learning how to drive these models and discover their underlying behaviours. I reckon you could get a comparable compiler going in under a month or less for less than $4k USD.
