I made a programming language to test how creative LLMs really are
Not because I needed to. Not because itβs efficient. But because current benchmarks feel like they were built to make models look smart, not prove they are. So I wrote Chester: a purpose-built, toy language inspired by Python and JavaScript. Itβs readable (ish), strict (definitely), and forces LLMs to reason structurallyβbeyond just regurgitating known patterns. The idea? If a model can take C code and transpile it via...

Let's Build a (Mini)Shell in Rust - A tutorial covering command execution, piping, and history in ~100 lines
Hello r/programming, I wrote a tutorial on building a functional shell in Rust that covers the fundamentals of how shells work under the hood. The tutorial walks through: Understanding the shell lifecycle (read-parse-execute-output) Implementing built-in commands (cd, exit) and why they must be handled by the shell itself Executing external commands using Rust's std::process::Command Adding command piping support (ls |...

Hi everyone, I work in enterprise IT, handling diverse data exports from various systems/APIs. Frustrated by: The need for different tools based on file formats. The lack of tools optimized for quickly understanding data. Messy files often need to be cleaned before use. I built my own solution as a side project and a fun way to learn React and Tailwind. Maybe it helps others as well. It aims to be both: Simple: Just...
