It's about the ability to combine ideas in novel ways, without breaking the rules in relevant frameworks. Sometimes the idea may even be to contradict existing theories where they are weak.

I wrote IntentCode, but it seems to have gone under the radar: https://github.com/jfilby/intentcode

I've built an AI compiler that has my take on this: https://github.com/jfilby/intentcode

I wrote something similar where you specify the intent in Markdown at the file level. That can also be done by an AI agent. Each intent file compiles to a source file.

It works, but needs improvement. Any feedback is welcome!

Hi HN,

I wrote IntentCode to let people write high-level specs in natural language, or directly in pseudo-code (Markdown with guidelines I call the IntentCode).

This is an AI compiler, the IntentCode files get compiled to source 1:1. The examples so far are quite basic (calc CLI app) but prove that the concept is sound.

You can also write extensions, which are mainly skills files for now.

I intend to keep progressing the compiler, so that larger and more complex examples can be implemented.

I'm actually building this and believe I've overcome the most difficult aspects mentioned here. It will be released as Open Source next week. https://intentcode.dev

Benchmarks would be nice to help understand the performance implications.

Likely if they sponsor a ton of tokens.

I'm actually building this, will release it early next month. I've added a URL to watch to my profile (should be up later this week). It will be Open Source.

Try Lutein (20mg).

That's a role that would require AGI, we're not there yet.

Nim hit the spot for a good low-level, fast language for me. The recommended GCs work well and it's easy to use.

Sorry to hear that. Given that it's genetic only something like Crispr could perhaps one day help.

Lutein may prevent or slow it. It's the best general eye supplement I've found too.
