What's the backend? I'd recommend to migrate such project to the edge (Cloudflare, etc)

And as a bonus: GPT is slow. I’m doing a lot of RE (IDA Pro + MCP), even when 5.4 gives a little bit better guesses (rarely, but happens) - it takes x2-x4 longer. So, it’s just easier to reiterate with Opus

In this new AI-driven world, ideas mean everything; one more year - it will be battles of ideas (not implementations as before).

you can do it on wasmer's workers, their last wasm/python approach is pretty solid (compatibility, performance). it's sad to say, but after 4 years of "beta" Python support on CF workers - it's still ugly. I dunno who was responsible for such a neglect, but even with the last changes - total fiasco

It's only django-related third-party packages comparison (and SSR itself), would be a bit strange to compare with a different language/stack and/or framework

Never met a single person who used Replit/Lovable/Bolt/v0, all folks have either custom harnesses around top-tier labs' models, or use their dev-tools (cc, codex, etc). It feels like Manus & Co are very niche thing

There’s no alternative (while prototyping), and anything else is better (when you properly defined your case).

It's okay till it's not. Everyone I know who had Celery in production was looking for a substitution (custom or third-party) on a regular basis. Too many moving pieces and nuances (config × logic × backend), too many unresolved problems deep in its core (we've seen some ghosts you can't debug), too much of a codebase to understand or hack. At some point we were able to stabilize it (a bunch of magic tricks and patches) and froze every related piece; it worked well under pressure (thanks, RabbitMQ).

New comment by leobuskin in "Launch HN: JSX Tool (YC F25) – A Browser Dev-Panel IDE for React"

leobuskin — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 22:23:18 +0000

But here's the thing: most of your real audience doesn't have API keys (except a few enterprise-ish folks or startups who got credits). They already pay subscription(s) (and will continue to pay the maximum, which will keep growing). The entire token resale model creates a weird economy and interdependency that shouldn't exist in the first place. In the end, all the deals with top-tier labs will be changing, most middlemen will start manipulating the token exchange rate at some point, and there's no transparency or single source of trust. What's the Endspiel here?

How is the WASM target looking nowadays? I tried it in 2023 and early 2024, and it was far from complete (JS interop, poor documentation scattered across GitHub issues, and so on). I still can't find a single trustworthy source of documentation on how to proceed. C# would look great at the edge (Cloudflare Workers).

A lot of people use LLM subscriptions, they don't use API keys. Why devtool devs continue to ignore this? I mean, ok, you have your "pricing" reselling an access to LLM models, that's the only, probably, simple way to monetize it, but it's a bad way in 2025, seriously. Allow me to bring my oauth with claude max, and/or offload whatever you do to my local claude code (or if there's some magic behind orchestration use SDK). And, oops, there's nothing to monetize and the entire thing can be recreated with vibe coding within a few weeks (it's not so much there, let's be honest).

I apologize for the writing style, don't take it personally, just every devtool product I see on HN nowadays fails for this particular reason.

Yes, it's mature, but you (and your potential audience) basically need to learn a new language, a lot of quirks and "weird" (I'd even say counter-intuitive) nuances, and it's also significantly less readable in comparison with strict and typed Python. Even its modern syntax doesn't click immediately (also performance wise the new syntax somehow is a bit slower in my tests)

It does mean. The switch from writing “applicable” software to creating cutting edge AI is almost impossible. The parent comment makes great examples, we can add to that list JetBrains (amazing IDEs, zero ability to catch up with ML), for example. It’s a very different fast-paced scientific driven domain.

I don’t think the size of content matters, it’s all about patterns (and their repetitiveness) within, and FASTA is a great target, if I understand the format correctly

What about a specialized dict for FASTA? Shouldn't it increase ZSTD compression significantly?

I have a small/insane project of mine, I wrote a compiler for Python (strict and static subset only) to WebAssembly (bc-to-bc approach, 1:1 CPython compat due to walking internals), than I do wasm2c to sandbox it + pledge and compiling with cosmopolitan into a miniature standalone thing (fast as hell). Just because you have zero dependencies and it's a pure Python and properly typed, lemme try next weekend as PoC. No promises, but this message clicked in my heart

It seems like a pretty simple rule in 2025: if your AI-related devtool project is not an open source, doesn't allow to self-host, and is not a tier-1 (your own models, or similar level of "secret sauce") -> it will be replicated within a week or so. And I like this new realm.

They are hijacking the entire python's ecosystem in a very smart way, that's all. At some point we, probably, will find us vendor locked-in, just because the initial offer was so appealing. Take a closer look at it: package manager, formatter/linter, types, lsp. What's left before it will poke cpython one way or another? Maybe cloud-based IDE, some interesting WASM relationship (but RustPython is not there yet, they just don't have enough money). Otherwise, Astral is on a pretty straightforward way to `touchdown` in a few years. It's both, the blessing, and the curse.

Let's be honest, all tries to bring a cpython alternative failed (niche boosters like PyPy is a separate story, but it's not up-to-date, and not entirely exact). For some reason, people think that 1:1 compatibility is not critical and too costly to pursue (hello, all LLVM-based compilers). I think, it's doable and there's a solid way to solve it. What if Astral thinks so too?
