    "The earlier implementation could not be driven to zero of them, because boxing was load-bearing in its emitter"

    In the docs of the repo of their TS to C++ compiler. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;geastack&#x2F;compiler" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;geastack&#x2F;compiler

      I see what you’re getting at, but let’s not pretend like “load-bearing” is something that AIs made up. It was a turn of phrase long before AIs became mainstream and people are still allowed to use it.

        &quot;geatsc: the GeaStack TypeScript-to-C++ compiler. A clean-room rewrite built on one rule — a statically typed value that reaches a dynamic carrier is a defect, not a fallback.&quot;

        The whole thing is like this

        But to be fair, it&#x27;s late 2026 so it&#x27;s to be expected now that the vast majority of code and surrounding artifacts are AI generated. It&#x27;s just a fact of life.

          Heh, we spent 6 months writing and rewriting the compiler a couple of times and were just too excited about the final architecture. Thank you, simplified.

            What do you mean? You were so excited that you didn&#x27;t want to talk about what excited you and left it to an LLM instead?
