This post / OP really needs to say if it's AI SLOP or not and to what extent. This looks like AI slop.

prolly authored it in a tui and it crashed, since it wasn't written in rust

that's a really bad stance... nothing wrong with compiling from source

this is interesting, i'm wondering if it can beat just installing go though.

I think it'd be interesting to build a adhoc config mgmt system w/ this and use it as a high level scripting language.

That actually hurts a little. I hope you reconsider, music is an art, and allowing a computer to regurgitate previous works over and over and be ok with it is awful.

Art is to be experienced and enjoyed, not just take whatever trash is thrown at you and be ok with it.

I have a strong suspicion this is AI slop. I also think this article draws way too many conclusions from a git log.

can someone explain openclaw/nanoclaw use cases to me?

I also do not understand the uses right now. Are we just grasping at usefulness ?

Feel free to have your own workflow but git already addresses this tools entire purpose with includeIf.

what does this address that includeIf does not?
