So many shocking things in this thread where @jonny@neuromatch.social digs into the leaked source for Claude Code. I want to focus on one: it's written in Typescript.
As I understand it, "vibe coding" is presented as an escape from the rigorous demands of an interpreter or compiler. But Javascript was also supposed to be that, and Typescript was supposed to restore some of the rigor.
So why not just have the LLM generate assembly language?
I'm guessing because it didn't work. At all.
