Assertions are a surprisingly nuanced design space. In a test, if I assert `x < y`, I really want to see the values of x and y when it fails.
Do you define an API for every possible predicate (Python's assertLess, expect.js) or try to support the native syntax (c.f. pytest)?
I'm pretty impressed with Cursor: I've successfully asked it to perform codebase transforms in English, and it's worked!
E.g. "Replace all calls foo(..., true) with foo_immediate(...) define a foo_immediate function".
I'm still reading the diff and checking tests -- it's still AI after all.
Bootstrapping a language can be immensely satisfying.
I've added the ability to define stub types in the Garden stdlib and suddenly I don't need to special-case Int or String! They're just normal type declarations.
