One of the most hilarious things about people posting that they “released a new SKILL.md” is that we have been trying to get developers to do documentation for 70 years or so, and now they do it FIRST.
THAT is the key impact AI is having on the software industry…

People of #Clojure, I think this is pretty much done: My fork of #joker, the excellent #golang interpreter, sped up to the nines with IR bytecode interpreter, #wasm back-end, full introspection (well, almost) and a few extra doodads. Going to be using this _a lot_ over the next year.

People of #Android, I have decided to free you from the thrall of srccpy and scammy #RDP and #VNC servers for Android and make sure you can RDP to your phone, because… no good reason, really, other than I hate having 13 remote access apps:

I’ve gone back go #golang for coding with agents, and part of the reasons why are the insane speed, amazing tooling (fmt/vet/testing/fuzzing)… and the fact that I can just tell the agent to “go” when it asks me if it should continue. 😬

OK, so I decided to optimize joker, the #Go #Clojure interpreter. I got out my notes on Mono and .NET, figured some sort of IR was a good place to start, and...

People^WGophers of #golang, we now have an inference library that isn't half-assed. It's just half-baked:

This #agentic #development thing only really works when you agent can modify itself. If you’re just tuning in, #pi (pi.dev) has been a godsend, and the perfect foundation to build my own environment:

@film_girl Yeah, Apple QA is... middle-aged at best. I spent 3 weeks without working TouchID on my Mac until I got one of my bots to systematically crawl the web for off-beat solutions and it came back with the suggestion to create a new user and then log back into my account - which fixed it. Amazing, huh? Not to mention my travails with Time Machine…

@trode@hachyderm.io But hey, once I have this done (due time, I've already figured out the MMU stuff is... not fun) you should be able to take the SDL version and wrap it. Right now I am using VNC to render the desktop since I have the compiler on an ARM Linux box, so I know _that_ works already.

Upstreaming, TBH, I don't know, because I am making this for pure fun and the code will be on GitHub regardless - I want these for my own use and because I used to be a compiler/JIT nerd in a past life.

@jjarava@mastodon.social It's kind of a team effort. You wouldn't believe the arguments I have with the thing. Choice quote just now: “This covers the common cases with good fidelity over plain HTTP, and uses LibreOffice as a dignified fallback for the formats that nobody has successfully parsed in JavaScript without involving a small nation-state's worth of engineering effort.”
