we told claude code + sonnet 4.5 to rewrite our entire typescript repository in go it ran for 29 hours results below:
none of it worked
@marsxiang_ I think @ishaandey_ could do it in 15 mins ngl
@ElijahKurien @ishaandey_ @ishaandey_ welp now you know what ur next task is
@marsxiang_ typescript is not a one-one replacement for Go both are built to solve entirely different problems Typescript is to help your build better frontends (UI+API) Go is to help you build thread and memory safe concurrent applications or services with more common use case for the
@marsxiang_ Guessed this :) llms became a joke
@marsxiang_ AGI is coming but it still needs coffee breaks.
@marsxiang_ Claude basically said: โHave you considered rewriting your repo in vibes?
@marsxiang_ claude code needs an anthem
@marsxiang_ blog post coming soon
@marsxiang_ no way
@marsxiang_ YOLO goons. There is SO much you have to know to perform a replication port. You have to deconstruct the original codebase first. Iโve done this SUCCESSFULLY with Claude Code from Typescript to C# on a large codebase. It required ME to know how to perform a proper sequence.
@marsxiang_ 29 hours!? sounds like you're broke now because of anthropic pricing
@marsxiang_ Pay me instead. I can write a library that doesn't work in half that time.
@marsxiang_ bait but also kind of a banger?
@marsxiang_ that was never supposed to work
@marsxiang_ still its too good for small changes or features. btw did you check with gpt 5?
@marsxiang_ how about gpt 5?
@marsxiang_ Results: 826849 typescript build errors bc Claude always uses โanyโ type
@marsxiang_ just ask poke next time
@marsxiang_ ๐ how much did that cost too?
@marsxiang_ this is why I m still using 4 sonnet.
@marsxiang_ oh wow, that was fun. โ ๏ธโ ๏ธโ ๏ธ
@marsxiang_ i believe ai is great for small tasks but full rewrites in different languages seems like asking for pain
@marsxiang_ Nice bait ๐
@marsxiang_ I can do it in 28
@marsxiang_ I was ready for that twist and still got me
@marsxiang_ 29 hours huh?
@marsxiang_ only 29 hours?
@marsxiang_ had me in the first half ngl
@marsxiang_ big bait
@marsxiang_ wtff
@marsxiang_ That's brutal!
@marsxiang_ big mess?
@marsxiang_ When the bill arrives
@marsxiang_ ๐๐
