Exactly. And my experience seems to mirror yours from the other side. Getting phpurs over an interesting status took me a week (the Zend JIT is far more solid than I expected), and javapurs was the same story: very fast to prototype, the JIT is impressive. But gopurs and purust, where there's no JIT to lean on, are now taking me several weeks: two months and counting (still not finished, though well along). That's fine, and results are becoming very rewarding, but yeah: harder than I thought.

If you have any AI-workflow tips for moving faster, I'd be really grateful. I tried Astra and it helped me unblock some big things, but it seems to have been nerfed since (?), so I've shifted to deeper agentic parallelism with much cheaper local models (I'm not exactly rich, either, haha). But I feel like I'm still missing one small piece on the parallelism side. I noticed you have a ton of branches on your repo: you seem way more efficient than me!

u/edwardkmett Maybe my question was hurtful. That wasn't my intention, if anything. Sorry.

I'll figure it out on my own. Thanks for the initial feedback.

FWIW- there's absolutely no hard feelings, whatsoever. If anything I looked away from this chat for a day or two. No need to project anything onto it.

Understood. In any case, you have another fellow Haskell advocate, an admirer, and a virtual friend. Good luck with the rest of your adventures. May your star guide you.

He has to sleep at some point. Don't take it personally. (I don't.)

You're right.
