If you must know, I'm writing a real-mode 16-bit x86 assembly to C translator in Common Lisp to be able to run that 3-sector inference engine, which was posted the other day, outside of QEmu, currently I'm debugging it. I'm doing this because it's fun but I can rationalize it as follows: It allows me to simultaneously learn Common Lisp, as I'm otherwise an OCaml & Scheme guy; 16-bit x86 assembly, since I grew up learning 68k assembly and segments are otherwise disgusting; and also slop generator architecture, right now I don't feel like reading a summary paper, those always leave out details. This is 100% hand-written in Emacs in Evil mode, and with SLIME. I guess that counts as a coding assistant, and it's written in LISP and LISP=AI, so that I can claim that I am familiar with generative AI technologies for coding when applying to jobs.
