So you're making a programming language... and you don't want to read code. Have I got the gist of it?

At a proof of concept stage for a research language? Why on earth would I?!

For one, a project of this scale is literally completely unfeasible if you're reviewing every line hand by hand - or at least for me when this is a very minor side project...

It's a 1M+ line scope...

The odds it gets completed is not 100%.

The odds it turns out as well as I would like is not 100%.

The odds anyone ever uses it besides me even if it does is not high.

And the entire purpose of the project is to test how well LLMs can actually scale, which, as I mentioned, REQUIRES not reviewing every line with a jade handled magnifying glass...
