10 years ago, I thought "programming is too hard, I'll make tools to make it easier" 5 years ago, I thought "I'll make a new language to make it easier" now I'm working on tools to make "making new languages" easier 😂

these lenses are out of control (and yes the match isn't exhaustive, wanted to keep the code short)

Got royally nerd sniped by this paper. Current status: implementing a compiler for a linear/flow language to JavaScript 😂
Delighted that "Flow Typing: A New Lens on Linearity" has been (conditionally) accepted for POPL 2027. Fantastic work by Sky Wilshaw! tinyurl.com/2j26dyyn

Goose: my latest programming language. Safer, faster and less memory than Rust/C++ for algorithms where tightly packed, flat data structures matter. It can represent more kinds of data structures as flat, pointer-free bytes than any language I know. github.com/aardappel/goose 1/

Experimenting with dynamic annotations Normally it's difficult to annotate text with a digital pen because the words can reflow- but what if your annotations could reflow with it?

I'm been playing with running nemotron-3.5-lightning:30b-mlx locally on my MBP and had some very promising results! Gets things done 2-3x as fast as gemma4:31b-mlx or qwen3.8:27b-mlx, with similar quality in the tests I've run.

had a funny thing happen with gemma4:31b-mlx; one session I asked it to implement a simple cli tictactoe game in typescript, and it spent 6 minutes, 31 tool calls, producing 8kb of "thinking" text (all in english), but the only user-facing text it output was at the end: 完成

Here at Galadriel, we are building a different kind of AI. Instead of a Dark Lord, it will be a queen. Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love it and despair!
