I prefer a niche* language and a while ago I tried AI (that could run on my weak hardware) and it could only hallucinate basic-search-result Python/JS snippets.

If that weren't an issue, it might be nice to answer questions. For instance, I'm trying to make a minesweeper thing and am not sure the best way to handle arrays** as a defined type (to allow creating multiple) in a way that could allow different map sizes.

Then again, even if there is a potentially OK model I could run I'd be skeptical of the effectiveness particularly for the download size and compute needed. Especially now that it's getting warmer.

*Nim-lang

** perhaps I am overthinking it. I have thought I could do a larger-than-needed array and just cut it down to what's selected (or just not use the space) or perhaps use something else instead like sequences (which don't have a fixed length).
