- How do differentiate with cursor ?by ggangsir
- Well I'll be damned if that isn't one of the best sites I've ever seen, with a great ethos. And in Lisp! Inspiring stuff. Godspeed, Lucius :)by bbor
- Ever since coding agents came out, It felt a little like we were implementing the self improving lisp programs of old.
This idea almost gets us there.
Could the next step be to make it the program itself?
by hsaliak - Amusingly, I started building something very similar in Jolt today :) https://github.com/yogthos/samizdat/by yogthos
- This webpage is beautiful.
- This is an interesting idea. I was thinking about something similar in Smalltalk or Erlang the other day. Mostly building on the actor/object+mailbox concept.
I didn’t actually do anything with that idea yet but may look at the idea in Elixir this weekend.
by rufius - I'm having a bit of trouble reading this over understanding the case where I would rather the agent update itself, vs having the agent write out tools and then call those tools.
I rarely find myself thinking "ah I need the agent interface to change". And the vague generality of how agents work play into making it fairly easy to "just" have it rely on some external tooling to do anything special.
Maybe this is just a counterargument to the lisp philosophy as a whole but... well... I use Emacs for example and am fine with a model of "an agent can look at my Emacs config" rather than "my agent _is running my Emacs session_".
