This language is not interesting for what it is, but how it was made. Apparently the guy put this Claude into a loop for 3 months [1] and this popped out. This made him one of the most prolific users of Claude, using tokens at a ate of up almost half a million dollars in a matter of days [2]. This caused considerable churn on the repo:
~1000 commits over a 3 month period netting 3.4 million lines. The git history alone is over 400MB after just that short period of time. Go's is smaller. What's the codebase look like?
Wat? Like the another comment said, the language is essentially Go with the keywords changed. You could get a better result just by forking the Go repo and changing the keywords, rather than spending millions of credits and months on LLM churn, which results in a completely unmaintainable codebase of unknown quality.Anyway, the results are bad. The language is what it is, I can't judge it because I don't think it's trying to be anything more than a joke. But the process is just... awful, and I don't think letting the LLM just churn is a model for sustainable language development.
