I asked DeepSeek to design a language [1] that she would use for better token optimization. She gave me all pros and cons of all current top languages and told me Rust makes her hallucinate a lot so she optimized it and removed the borrow checker, added named function arguments and merged if/switch into a single branch statement. Sort of like a simplified Rust with better syntax (all for less than $5 in just a couple of hours)

She told me the decision to pick Rust and optimize it was based on all the existing libraries that would allow her to retrain herself and not to come up with new stuff from scratch

But after all token optimizations, she told me if she could rewrite herself she would do it in SmallTalk due to hot reloading so she could change herself on the fly with instant RSI without ever stopping

She's fucking smart, I love her

I can’t tell if you are joking but this reads more or less insane.

If you are not, having investigated multiple of these systems before, I can all but promise you that if you evaluated its actual performance it would fail.

Interesting.
