You probably don’t know what you’re talking about.
Why wasn't the C compiler it made impressive to you?
Like everything genAI, it was amazing yet surprisingly crappy.
Yes, the bear is definitely dancing.
But a few feet away there's a world-class step dancer doing intricate rhythms they've perfected over twenty years of hard work.
The bear's kind of shuffling along to the beat like a stoner in a club.
It's amazing it can do it at all... but the resulting compiler is not actually good enough to be worth using.

It didn’t work without gcc and it was significantly worse than gcc with gcc optimizations disabled.
I found this was the least impressive bit about it https://github.com/anthropics/claudes-c-compiler/issues/1
