Pseudo, a Common Lisp macro for pseudocode expressions (opens in new tab)

Similar idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueGC3xVcDlc William Bowman: First class Prompt Engineering with llm lang! (This is a bad idea.) (RacketCon)

I like it, and indeed neatly shows the power of Lisp. The JS variety (well the one that I could come up with) is far less elegant, but works [0] (well, mostly). It really shows how the different LLMs stack up; some really cannot get anything right, but something like openai/gpt-4o-mini seems to get it right mostly (8/10).

Passing the lexical information in and requiring s-expressions be returned is a good idea. Put a cache on it to remember what the llm came up with last time and you have a legitimate, if somewhat weird, language implementation.

That's kind of neat. I had an idea for a macro that would search GitHub for functions with the desired name and use their implementation, but this is probably more predicatable.

I see a bunch of 18+ ads.

After decades of research, we have finally come up with a way to make programs break in unpredictable ways on every compilation.

Can't commit pseudo-code to prod like this :laugh: cause you might get different results once in a while!
