Claude asked me a question today: was I looking for an Emacs plugin (because I was talking about elisp) or a Rust program (because I have configured Rust preferences)?
I'm really impressed, it's rare to see LLMs ask follow-up questions.
(I wanted Emacs in this case.)
I'm adding a += operator to my programming language, because writing `x = x + 1` is tedious.
This opens the tricky design question of which operators should support this. Is += and -= sufficient, or do you expect things like >>= and **= to be available?
