on my someday/maybe list for years was recreating one of my favorite video games from when i was a kid: apache strike. but it always seemed like it'd be too much work. then claude code comes along and boom: a proof-of-concept written on my phone while i'm in bed with a cold. behold: "drone delivery" (now i need to figure out how to test it on a bunch of different devices... 😏)

now serving: burrito 🌯 - a quickjs wrapper for nim* 👑  ➡️

Burrito - QuickJS Nim Wrapper

vibed from idea 🤔 to 🚢 in a weekend -- with code examples, unit tests, api docs, and a fancy landing page, too... tools used: - claude code (opus 4 + sonnet 4) - for the heavy lifting - gemini (2.5 pro and 2.5 flash) - for extra code review: "hey gemini... pretend you're a senior google engineer and a code reviewer..." - chatgpt 4o - for small tasks like "how do i deploy this to github pages?!" - termux + vim - most of the work was done on my phone! switched to mac at the end for extra testing and doc gen. - hardware: google pixel 5a and 2018 apple intel-mbp (the one wittth the craapppy keyboardd) why burrito?: i *love* experimenting and testing code out in repls ("read–eval–print loop"). burrito lets me embed a full js repl into any compiled nim app so that i can try things out interactively. most compiled languages (like nim) struggle with repls; they're usually slow or incomplete. by embedding a full js interpreter (quickjs), i get the best of both worlds: a super-slick, fast app written in nim *and* a fast, non-lame interactive environment to quickly test things out. with burrito, i can: - call js from nim - call nim from js - run interactively or "just do it" all in one go. honestly i don't know how (or if) i would've done this project without all my new robot friends. *nim, nim, nim! it's great! you should try it!

life is...
