So @roc_lang has a WIP "development backend" that skips LLVM and directly generates machine code. (For speed!) It just reached the milestone of running a 2k LoC real-world Roc program. Total compilation time was 3.5x (as in 3500%) using LLVM. This is LLVM with no optimizations.

A typical ~2GHz CPU will clock pulse every 0.5ns. Since the speed of light is ~0.3m/ns, light only traverses ~15cm (half a foot) in each pulse :|

So a popular machine learning YouTuber tweeted about code I wrote...fancy. teapaw.org/sirajraval/status/9506…
My last coding challenge was to build a simple app using Keras. This Wizard implemented @DeepMindAI 's AlphaGo Zero with it but for a different game (Othello) I'm blown away! I think we have a winner github.com/bhansconnect/alph…
