Profile

I did this entire project on my phone, using the Replit app and the github web interface. This should be pretty close to the functionality of the J incunabulum:https://www.jsoftware.com/ioj/iojATW.htmI ended up telling the agent to use Rust, partially because I thought that JavaScript / TypeScript was its comfort zone and I didn’t want to have it pulling in a bunch of stuff I didn’t understand, and partially because I’ve heard that LLMs are pretty bad at Rust and I wanted to see if it could actually do it.I don’t know Rust too well, so I can’t judge the code, but my suspicion is that it’s quite bad. I’d be interested to hear that confirmed.

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
