This was just an experiment in which I asked Claude Opus 4.7 to create a programming language in the most efficient way it could. It isn't meant to be a serious thing — just a fun weekend project exploring what happens when you let an LLM design its own language.

It appears like it is a combination of python structure and C-like semantics. There is even a bit of Go-like declaration, but yeah, hard to say whether or not it is actually more efficient... a LLM is trained on text, so that is what it is going to create.Also, pretty funny that it is a single 2000+ line code file...

Thanks for sharing! This brings back so many memories. When I was 8 years old, my mother enrolled me in a programming summer camp at our local university. This was my first exposure to BASIC and that is what got me hooked. After that, writing BASIC programs on APPLE 2/2E throughout junior high and highschool was the thing to do. Switched to Visual Basic shortly after that... It started it all for me!

I once bought a iPhone charge cable from ebay, free shipping from china for $0.01. I won the auction a couple hours later. 6 weeks later it arrived!

No idea how it is possible. The bubble wrapping protecting it from shipping is worth more than what I paid.

I'm pretty sure that if there was a manual for the software or application you are using, you wouldn't read it anyways. The software should be intuitive in the first place.
