Project record01 mention
Originally shared on Hacker News
cppgm-extended
A C++ compiler built by teaching AI agents to write C++ compilers from scratch. After iterating on many agent-built versions, the resulting compiler compiles about 4x faster than GCC and Clang. The build process is documented in a blog series, and the project inspired the author's new Rust compiler effort.

“This was inspired by a project I started[1] about six months ago to teach agents to build C++ compilers from scratch. I wrote a (long) series of blogs about the process[2]. After iterating on many agent built C++ compilers, I now have a version that compiles about 4x faster than GCC and Clang[3].”
