Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.

Would you be willing to look into Roundhouse? I'm willing to spend the tokens with you guiding the effort.

I am publishing archives of agents one shotting a spec app at github.com/sheetgenius/agent… and I would be super honored if you could make a PR for the elixir prompt. Basically I’m just trying to have an even playing field where there’s a expert level prompt for each language to make it as terse and idiomatic as possible, and a shared spec they need to hit.
Replying to @dhh
Do you have the prompts or threads publicly available? The agent clearly chose to follow Rails compatibilty more closely in the Elixir version. So a few of Rails limitations got ported to the Elixir one. Here is an example from the README itself: > Elixir retains Redis and Resque-compatible jobs, while Rust uses integrated queues and a different frontend/server implementation. The agent knows, it just chose to prioritize something else, which will always happen if you are not steering. I am certain coding agents can spot those issues and bring the numbers up for both Elixir and Go with no troubles whatsoever (although I don't expect them to beat Rust).

what you don’t realize is _why wrote a very good DSL 19 years ago and every agent alive today has been trained on every bit of it

Initial explorations with Spinel are very promising! Seeing around 6x+ perf And request throughput on the canonical github.com/sheetgenius/agent… app! It wasn't easy, but it works! 2 PR's landed upstream, lots more incoming.

🔥🔥🔥 this whole thing has been a good cop, bad cop routine the whole time hasn’t it?

Campfire compiled with Roundhouse + Spinel runs 5.4 times faster in rps, and consumes 1/12 of memory. No modification needed.
