#Flutter š #dotnet | Agitating for improvement and crusading against nonsense as Director of @nimblesite

And here it is!!! My new programming language Osprey! This has been a 20 year long dream, finally made possible with AI assistance. So stoked this is finally possible! š. Stars and shares appreciated! āØ.

Got a nice .net project coming alongā¦. What if you could write SQL functions in a really nice modern language that works on any database platform, including SQLite, Postgres and SQL Server. Impossible? Nope. Doable.

Pro tip: use GitHub Codespaces with Cline or Roo Code instead of Cursor background tasks. You get the same outcome but you will be running on a well configured container instead of whatever Cursor throws together.

YEEEESSSS!! You can finally use Osprey's algebraic effects directly in the playground!!!. Check it out and star the f@#$ out of this thing!! āļø.

Not much luck with Cursor background tasks at all. Claude Sonnet 4 Max seems to be way dumber there than working locally, even though it chews tokens like you wouldnāt believe.

Cursorās business model is selling bulk API usage like a gym membership with a decent agent added in. Itās not about building an IDE. Keeping this thing running must be a huge drain on their business. May as well focus on background tasks and seemly usage.

Prediction: Cursor will become a Vscode extension fairly soon. Background tasks mean that it is now more like Devin. But, porting every Vscode extension to a Cursor extension is going to get ridiculous quickly. Also, people will want Cursor on GitHub Codespaces.

Thought I'd get Cursor background tasks to submit a PR for me using the standard Osprey template. Epic fail.

Did you know that Cursor Background Tasks is basically exactly the same thing as Devin? You can check out your repo in the cloud and have as many parallel AI tasks running as you want? . Yes, weāve hit the next phase of AI coding assistance!.

Correct answer š.
@CFDevelop before you argue with him, give ai a task, then let them blow themselves out and then go "ok in the time it took you argue with me, the code was written". drop the mic. make eye contact. moonwalk out. dont. break. eye. contact. the eye contact is important. it asserts dominance.

What do you say to people that refuse to believe that AI coding assistants work?. When you can easily demonstrate something and put it right in front of them, but they still refuse to believe their eyes, what do you do?. For some people the cognitive dissonance is too loud.

Want to read up about algebraic effects in osprey? Basically working. Unfortunately, the playground is broken but I should be able to fix it tomorrow and youāll be able to see AE in action. I believe this will be a game changer that puts Osprey on the map.

If all C# developers pushed their employers to use F# instead, the world would be a better place.

Unbelievableā¦. So apparently the Claude integration in Visual Studio is good while Claude integration in Vscode is well, GitHub Copilot. Why?. Microsoft still peddling an IDE tied to Windows that only C#/C++ devs can stomach?.

In my career, Iāve heard so many say āyou canāt do XYZ because bla bla blaā some authority says so. Time and time again, Iāve ignored the advice and proved them to be completely wrong. This is the basis for osprey lang. Itās an experiment to see if the authorities were just lying.

This is the whole point of ioc_container. This is how all open source libraries should be. They should do one thing with simple code. Youāre never locked in. You just fork it if you want something different.
@CFDevelop @jaydanurwin @rodydavis Yeah, I used it because its code was short and simple to follow. If ever needed (pkg discontinued or whatever reason) you can just copy/paste the code and modify/update/fix if ever needed, and move on.

Osprey lang compiler needs 75 stars to apply for homebrew listing. Please to star āļø .
