Show HN: A new, safe, programming language for LLMs and Humans to collaborate

Just because LLMs can write copy for webpages doesn't mean they should. A landing page should not warrant a tl;dr.

Some people don't want to read anything these days, suspecting an LLM. Not code. Not ideas. Nothing. They're weary of LLM-generated writing.

Guess what else the LLM generated. An entire compiler for a new language. Over 7 months of work went into that, iterating, fixing bugs, simplifying. It generates WASM you can run in your browser. All you have to do is visit the playground. It's the big button that says "Try it in your browser." But, that playground and the backend was also generated by an LLM (as I iterated for a few months on it).

I couldn't get it any simpler. The landing page has big letters on the top. It has tiny code snippets illustrating what the language is like. Oh well. I tried.

Your copy and design is very obviously LLM-generated and full of technical fluff, which unfortunately distracts from any novel technical merits. That's the double-edged sword of marketing, and why simple high-signal copy and examples are often better for technical writing.

For example, you most definitely don't need 6 cards for each header point: it's actively tiring to read.

EDIT: I didn't see you mock me in the other thread: therefore, I will not engage further.

I will not engage further

We can only hope. Your original engagement was very rude.

I'm as tired as you when the top comment always seems to be crying "this was AI generated". Especially since the use of AI to make a new language is almost inevitable, as it is too onerous to experiment, build and innovative without.

But minimaxir put out some very thoughtful comments you'd be wise to lend your ears to, because the technical merits your work seems to have will get drowned out.

This is really cool, but I wish it was a little more digestible. I think there are great ideas here but every page is like a whole book. What do you think is the most important aspect.

A couple things I did note:

You can't claim this is the first language designed for LLM and AI, there've been many of those in the recent years.

Also you have a problem with your name clashing with this other U language: https://github.com/Panzerschrek/U-00DC-Sprache

Theirs is a U with umlauts, yours is like a regular U, but either way it's very confusing.

You should submit this to https://www.reddit.com/r/AIprogrammingLanguage, which was started after https://www.reddit.com/r/programmingLanguages banned all projects which use AI.
