   This is an interesting idea. It’s a pity it was implemented by LLM instead of explored by someone with curiosity.

      Well it's their original idea and it's based on the Lobster compiler they wrote, so it isn't just a random person doing it. I'd say it's more like an expert language designer using a tool to explore an idea they otherwise wouldn't have time for.

         Some of us may never adjust to a world without sweat equity.

      As someone building a language with an LLM, it is exactly an exploration of curiosity. I have a lot of ideas, I don't always know how to implement them, and I certainly lack the time. The LLM can write the code, I can guide it, and I can learn what does or does not work.
