Sure it's not a crime but I don't want your vibe-coded shit mingling with my actual code written by actual humans.

This is good to know. ‘I’ built a compiler for a language I call ‘xc’, similar to Objective-C but designed to be cross-platform and have less square brackets :). It can run on any of {Windows, Mac, Linux, Zynq} and produce code for any of {Windows, Mac, Linux, Zynq, WASM, iOS, Android, m68k, 6502}.

It needs no host-platform tools to compile code, so for example I have a signed binary on my iPhone, written and signed entirely on Linux.

The compiler (v 0.61, not the released v0.6) currently produces code that is between 5x and 0.5x the speed of clang when measured at -O3 on both, against ObjC code, which is pretty good for a nascent compiler. The geometric mean of 19 mini-benchmarks comes in at xc being roughly 6% faster than clang.

Since there is also a framework and gui-designer under way, I’d like to release it as more than a tar.bz2 file for Linux at some point. Flatpark would seem to be appropriate :)

How is this supposed to be relevant to the article we're discussing?

'I', presumably

Yeah, thought that was pretty obvious, alongside the “AI-friendly” flatpark. Guess I’ll be more explicit next time…

> But the policy doesn't distinguish between someone who prompted an LLM to generate an entire app in five minutes and a developer who used Copilot for autocomplete while writing 90% of the code themselves.

How is using autocomplete "Vibecoding" now? I remember y'all that the "definition" for vibecoding requires the "prompter" to not look at a single line of code
