FAWK: LLMs can write a language interpreter

Today, Gemini wrote a python script for me, that connects to Fibaro API (local home automation system), and renames all the rooms and devices to English automatically.

Worked on the first run. I mean, the second, because the first run was by default a dry run printing a beautiful table, and the actual run requires a CLI arg, and it also makes a backup.

It was a complete solution.

I've gotten Claude Code to port Ruby 3.4.7 to Cosmopolitan: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan

I kid you not. Took between a week and ten days. Cost about €10 . After that I became a firm convert.

I'm still getting my head around how incredible that is. I tell friends and family and they're like "ok, so?"

I am incredibly curious how you did that. You just told it... Port ruby to cosmopolitan and let it crank out for a week? Or what did you do?

I'll use these tools, and at times they give good results. But I would not trust it to work that much on a problem by itself.

Its a lie, or fake.
