Anthropic's AI‑built C compiler is not all that impressive

Some people seem to think writing a C compiler is hard work. Well, yes, if you're writing it in assembly language, it is. But I hate to break it to you: Computer science undergraduates write C compilers every semester. Heck, you can learn to do it yourself thanks to Daniel McCarthy's Developing a C Compiler From Scratch online class. And the class will cost you a lot less than the $20,000 it cost Anthropic.
