Anyone having fun and success using AIs to generate code in interesting unusual languages? The more interesting and the more unusual the better - I’m hoping for languages like Factor.

With the rise of AI based code editors like Cursor or extensions like double bot or continue dev How are you incorporating those in your workflow or how’s your experience has been like with those tools Also mentioning Claude Dev and Aider Chat Would love to hear your experiences

Gleam is a language for which I see a lot of articles, with some interest, and it doesn’t appear to be mostly self-posts and releases. Tagging it as Erlang is inappropriate, as it’s not Erlang. It gets posted about enough it deserves to be something filterable, in the past 3 months we’ve had:

In spite of the ubiquity of ferrets like me who are perpetually fascinated by shiny novelties, the retrocomputing community is still alive and kicking, especially here on Lobsters. Observing the steady stream of these posts that have continued more-or-less unabated since I joined three years ago, I would like to (re-)propose a retrocomputing tag. Its description might read something like:

• Making 8-bit Music From Scratch at the Commodore 64 BASIC Prompt
• MicroMac, a 128k Macintosh emulated on an RP2040
• Windows 98 Disk Defrag Simulator
• Wallops: A modern IRC client for classic Mac OS
• Networking in C64 OS
• retrowin32: redoing syscalls
• Wikipedia Reader for classic MacOS (2023)
• dmg-acid2: The Acid2 test, now for the original Game Boy
• Windows 3.11 on QEMU 5.2.0
• Departure Mono
• Minimal 64x4 – DIY computer with 4x the processing power of a C64 or Apple II
• Serena: An experimental operating system for 32bit Amiga computers
• retrospex: Convert images to fit Commodore 64 graphic modes
• maciNTosh: PowerPC Windows NT ported to Power Macintosh systems
• 84–24
• Virtualizing the 6502 with 6o6 (and The Incredible KIMplement goes 1.0)

I’m sure there are others I’ve lost track of. Additional examples would be welcome.
