Sure, but you've got to start somewhere! And with the amount of progress I was able to make in just a few weeks, I'm very optimistic that the polish will come sooner rather than later.

Based on the list of contributors to your project, I am not sure this starting location is optimally suited to the task of building a foundation for polished, reliable, expandable software.

In that case I kindly refer you to the matter of Arkell v. Pressdam.

It's having ~ 5000 tests already. Used correctly, AI agents can help you improve the quality of the code!

Do you see why this perspective is a red flag on its own?

I certainly don't. If a software developer has found a way to use these tools that works well for them and produces good results, that's a good thing.

No I don’t, review your code

		If I go by the contributor numbers on Github, I see Claude has committed something on the order of 300,000 lines of code. I don't think it's reasonable to review that much code, even in weeks worth of time.

The sneering on HN really has no end. This is a good project! I for one am very excited to see an interpreter born out of rust.

		It's a defense mechanism. I was guilty as charge as well initially. Suddenly most of your l33t skillz are trivialized and surpassed by an inhumane actor. It's a tough pill to swallow.

i'm curious if you intend to reimplement highly optimized numerical algorithms, symbolic algorithms, and so on, accumulated and tuned in mathematica since its 1988 release?

it's a huuuuuuuuge amount of technology in the standard library of mathematica, beyond the surface syntax and rewrite system, i mean.
