> Maybe I should look into training an AI in the audio style of Patrick O’Brian and have it read Shakespeare for me. That's what you took away from that?!

I went down a rabbit hole a few summers ago and I ended up writing a calculator from scratch in assembly for RISC OS. Interesting experience having GUI routines at the syscall level

On the flip side, .hpp always makes me chuckle. What is that, Header++?

Loads for me, but not particularly quickly

That makes sense. The part where my program really benefits is in a bottleneck area that you always have to go through and where you visit every code path in it.

It's .NET 10 lol. It's not so slow you can't write stuff for it, I have implementations of Conway's game of life, Huffman compression, and a minimal TUI. The main problem is doing almost anything in it involves a method

That's so cool! I love F#, but I wrote a little Smalltalk interpreter in it and I can confirm it isn't exactly a speed demon for that kind of thing if you use it as intended lol

This is pre-virtualization, so it's not the cloud either

If I remember correctly, it even came with a utility to remove line numbers for you

It doesn't take an AI to demand graph go up

Oh I've actually been meaning to get around to reading that first one. I'll have to crack that open.
