In the process of Opus 5.5 turning nift into a proper byte code vm runtime, huge performance and correctness improvements coming!

Finally had our first failed Nift migration experiment XD The TanStack website was too coupled to the retained TanStack Start/backend build to deliver the desired build-time + memory wins. Published it anyway lab.nift.dev Next: nift init --rewrite

Been quietly filling out lab.nift.dev with more experiments: • production website migrations • human+agent vs agent builds • full-build + memory benchmarks • scripting/website/shell benchmarks Docker was a particularly fun fight with Hugo XD

Switchyard - an experimental Git platform designed for humans + coding agents. Working prototype: switchyard.cx docs.switchyard.cx Git hosting, competing agent attempts, review, semantic conflict handling, Actions, Pages, releases and provenance.

@Cloudflare @CloudflareDev @eastdakota @mattzcarey @scottbuscemi I don’t think I have the chops to turn this into a production platform alone, even with coding agents. But I’d be interested in working with Cloudflare to see what Switchyard could become.

@space_loops theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis… the mantis shrimp is so sick! 🌈🦐

7. Sibling project to Nift called Mantis🦐 (🔗theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis…) for templating with programming languages (bringing additional/modified/restricted syntax, enforced safety while maintaining performance benefits of languages like c/c++ over other compiled langauges)

Mantis🦐 will allow increased levels of safety to be enforced in the Nift codebase and other tools developed for peak performance </🧵>
