Congrats to Chris Lattner and crew! Seems like a neat project. I listened to him talk about Mojo on some podcast a while back and was really impressed. Swift was a runaway success, and I hope he can pull it off again with Mojo! :)

I'd say the notion that expensive acts of sabotage (that can be cheaply neutralized) are a worthwhile pastime and anything other than virtue signaling is somewhat perplexing. (Not in a good way.)
This is great. We also need a tool to expose source jars to agents so they don’t need to compress. There’s a lot of Compose overloads that Claude just guesses at. I built something internally but it needs polish and Claude really struggled with the deep Gradle integration.
I had an idea like this a year ago. Super interested how it goes if this is real. The problem right now is that it’s hard to get your hands on hardware in the first place.
Hi! Yes this is quite obvious on the outside isnt it? All it needs is execution we have helped multiple companies with cloud exits to significantly better performance. The hardware isnt difficult at all, one of our favourite bare-metal providers to use is Hetzner who has great deals on hardware.

Tart is an amazing tool, and I have been very grateful for it. There's almost no other way I've found to stand up ephemeral CI/CD macOS VMs for self-hosted Git forge solutions. I really hope this doesn't mean that Tart will eventually die the death of unmaintained projects (e.g. Realm post-Mongo-acquisition.)
Yes but most people are not dropping down to Metal support unless they're doing custom effects or developing a game engine. Most apps could be developed outside of Xcode just fine.
Sometimes people add to the discussion by sharing esoteric knowledge because the uncommon aberrations are interesting.
That aside, there was a larger point I was making that was lost in the forest because you poking at a tree. iOS apps are more than Swift. Metal was one example, there are plenty of other tooling components that absolutely suck to use in vim, or just missing support entirely. Bundle management, plist files, custom build phases, code signing, asset previews, canvas previews, interface builder, profiling, and unit testing UI is a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with swift, sucks in vim, and integral to application development.
