2727As of March 2026, essentially all of the code in this project has been designed
2828and written by hand, with the exception being very small code snippets (things
29- like _ "write a function to escape an HTML string in JS"_ ). Until now, there have been
30- fewer than 100 lines of AI-generated code in this project across the core

3333agentic AI, but was instead manually reviewed and incorporated into the project.

3535I myself started using AI regularly about a year ago, slowly incorporating it
3636into my work. Over the past six months, when working on this project, I've used
37- generative AI to help me understand APIs and
38- specifications of existing software, and get feedback on design decisions.
39- Examples of questions I've asked AI include:

7578 I know this code like the back of my hand and I want it to stay this way. If I
7679 ever decide to overhaul the language implementation (have it compile to WASM,
7780 say) then I might revisit this decision.
